I was curious what all sacramentals does Satan hate the most, which one(s) does he most fear and why?

I’ve read some things that point to holy water as the one he fears the most.
The real answer, though, is that he fears most the sacramentals that draw you closer to God, whatever they are.

Satan must hate all of the sacraments because they bring us closer to the Holy Spirit and give us grace.
I also read that he can’t stand Holy Water and the Cross.

I think it is the Crucifix. It signaled our Lords’ decent into Hell where he set captives free and opened the gates of Heaven.
His victory over sin and death.

It’s the rosary because it has a crucifix on it, and it’s the “scourge of the devil”. It gives great graces to whoever prays it.

No brainer… it’s the rosary.

*Prayers of the Rosary
The prayer of the rosary is in reality a variety of prayers, many totally scriptural.
**The Apostles Creed c. 700 AD **
I believe in God the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell, and on the third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen
**Mt 6:9-13 **
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and do not subject us to the final test, but deliver us from the evil one.
**Christian doxology (cf. Rev 4:8) **
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
**Lk 1:28 **
Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you.
**Lk 1:42 **
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
**Lk 1:43; (see also the Council of Ephesus, 431) **
“the mother of my Lord” (Holy Mary, Mother of God.)
**Prayer of petition; confession of sinfulness **
Pray for us sinners;
**Petitioning Mary dates to 3rd century **
now and at the hour of our death. Amen
**The sign of the cross; invoking the Holy Trinity **
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen
*It is difficult to see how some Christians can criticize the private prayer life of other Christians. One such criticism centers on the element of repetition of the prayer, “Hail Mary.” But to even the casual reader of the word of God it must be apparent that the writers of the Bible–and God Himself–used the repetition of words and expressions in prayer.
The Bible uses repetition to indicate emphasis and the highest degree of something. *
**Is 6:3 **
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts!” they (the Seraphim) cried one to another.
The Psalms are a good example of repetition in prayer. Psalm 150 records a twelve-fold repetition in one psalm. *

I must agree on the rosary, but the crucifix and holy water are very powerful.
Years ago my son had these heman toys that my sister the nun said those things especially skeletor and the evil castle were evil and she insisted that I put holy water on these things and late one night I did this when my children were sleeping. To this day I will attest to the fact that the front door literally opened and closed.
I know people who put it in their food, laundry, just about anything that can pick up evil of any kind.
I bless my house often for this reason…

One sacramental that I have found estremely powerful is blessed salt. In 2002 we had a period of three hit and run accidents in a three month period involving my daughter’s car (yes the insurance company really loved us). After much prayer we felt that this was an attack against our family. When we got the car back we sprinkled the blessed salt inside (rust is a small price to pay - she and her passenger were almost killed in the third accident) and asked for the intercession of St. Raphael to keep her safe in her travels. It’s now 2004 and she’s been accident free ever since.

Wherever the symbol of the cross is set up, Christ’s victory and the devil’s subjection are signified. –St. Peter Damian
Where the sign of the cross is erected, the wickedness of the devil is immediately repelled. –St. Maximus of Turin
Be converted, you who walk in the commandments of the devil, commandments that are hard, bitter, cruel and foul. And do not fear the devil either, because he has no power against you …The devil cannot lord it over those who are servants of God with their whole heart and who place their hope in Him. The devil can wrestle with, but not overcome them. So, if you resist him, he will flee from you in defeat and confusion.
–The Shepherd of Hermas
Do not fear, Jesus is more powerful than all Hell. At the invocation of His Name every knee in Heaven, on earth and in hell must bend before Jesus; this is the consolation of the good and terror of the evil ones. –Padre Pio
Nothing restrains anger, curbs pride, heals the wound of malice, bridles self-indulgence, quenches the passions, checks avarice and puts unclean thoughts to flight, as does the name of Jesus. - St. Bernard

I would have to agree that the Holy Rosary is the one he hates the most. (The rosary has a cross, and can be blessed, and the prayers are the most powerful)

The sacramental Satan hates most is a holy human being in the state of grace with the virtue of faith. Our old friend will do anything in his power to rip that sacramental to shreds, because it is the closest approximation to the One he truly hates. If we are full of the grace and truth of our Lord Jesus Christ and love God the Father in the Holy Spirit, our bodies are the most immaculate and righteous temples in the universe. Let his armies see these sacramentals from fields afar, and tremble at the mighty fortress ranged on the hill.

Hi,
The sign of the cross said thoughtfully and reverently is the best way to get rid of a temptation.

The power of St. Benedict is revealed in this small object that has been fostered by his spiritual sons many years. Marvelous is the aid which the St. Benedict Medal affords to its devout wearers in the manifold necessities of soul and body. On this account the Medal is well known and widely used throughout the Christian world; everywhere it is regarded as a highly favored object of devotion.

That’s what did it for me. Once I got me and the brown scapular enrolled properly, Satan has more or less been held at bay. Very powerful weapons against evil spirits. I keep mine loaded with prayer every day.
