Saint Benedict Medals (All about them and how to get them properly exorcised)

This video is all about Saint Benedict Medals and was taken from a livestream that I did. This talk goes over the history of the medal, the prayers of the medal, and how to get it properly blessed and exorcised by a priest.

Of course the medals should be properly blessed. But even an unblessed medal is more than 'a piece of metal', because the image on the medal conveys both the truth of the Catholic faith and of the holiness of St. Benedict.

[@tknciliba4743]

Your statement is a classic example of idol worship. That's why I will never be Catholic! 2 much idols, God said to Abraham " Take them out!"

[@Sam-iy1nt]

Amen

[@americanwoman8947]

No Sacremental works on its own. Only the Sacrements work on their own. Not only is the Proper Blessing important they only work in conjunction with our faith. Your statement is not according to the teachings of Holy Mother Church.

[@MaryKane-qv5vz]

It is so important to have medals, Rosary Beads, Crosses, and Scapulars properly blessed. The St. Benedict Medal has a special form of Blessing attached to it and the wording can be obtained from a Benedictine Monastery.

[@GoogleGoogle-fy3cj]

The Holy Bible says where two or more believers gather God is there. My husband and I prayed over and blessed my Benedictine medal. Along with prayer, it's a wonderful reminder that Ĝod and His protection is with me always.

[@colleenhoffman2817]

It is because of your video that I just ordered 100 St Benedict Medals!!!! I'm in the process of getting them blessed correctly 🙏 and I plan to use these in the utmost respectful way for protection in these evil times. I'm also going to give these Medals to my loved ones who are away from the Church in hopes that the graces attached will help them find their way home🙏God bless you and thank you for this most important video!!!!

[@tomcha75]

After confession today, I just asked my priest to bless the St. Benedict medals and a Miraculous medal. I told him what they were and asked if he needed the prayers that I printed out and brought with me. He told me it's fine and blessed them. No holy water and very short like when blessing a rosary. I thought it curious and had a nagging feeling he didn't do it right from the videos I saw on YT and the few articles I read. Guess I have to go get them blessed again and exorcised properly...

[@harambesstepbrother7579]

Yes unfortunately

[@tomcha75]

@@harambesstepbrother7579 Actually it was a blessing in disguise. Ended up going to another parish with a wonderful and humble priest. He was more than willing and gladly accepted the prayers I had printed out. Very devout and reverent. He used the holy water with exorcised salt as well. He has blessed three batches of medals on three separate occasions I had bought (last time to give to him to hand out to anyone who needed them). He is seen constantly blessing people after mass, and not the "God bless you" type as you walk by, but actually prays for them. He takes the blessings of the Church seriously. So the wanting to find another priest who would bless the medals in correct form brought me to him. And through finding him, going to masses at that parish, and praying the rosary with my kids every night has resulted in a 'small' miracle (to those outside the family, but huge for us in the family). God is so good! And thank you Mother Mary. All for Mary, with Mary!

[@florgaldamez1811]

I had the similar response from my priest when I asked for blessing my rosaries I purchased at vatican city. I had some blessed by our Pope Francesco 🙏. But I purchased additional ones. So I thought the purchased ones needed blessing, he told me that they're already blessed. So I have faith that the ones that were blessed by Pope Francesco spread the blessing to 😂the other ones 😂. Some were St. Benedict rosaries 📿

Today we really need to have a Holy Priest to Bless them live in videos perhaps every First Friday. Blessing done live are valid. Sadly, most Priests today do not know nor are willing to do the Blessings completely. Most do not even know how to read the Latin. Our church is about to completely ban The Latin Mass. This should tell us how effacatious The Latin Mass is versus the Bogus Or do Masses. My Church only has the Latin Mass twice a year. Last month I attended it and felt this would be the Last one I would be able to attend. You cannot buy Blessed items nor should you sell one. There are Holy places that charge for the chain or string on a Scapular and give away the Blessed Sacremental if you can trust who is doing this. Thank you for doing this. 🙏🙏 A man who came to my Parish gave away these medals, Holy Water, Salt, and cross all properly Blessed by his Traditional Latin Mass Priest. He wrote a powerful testimony on how his life and soul was saved through this. Sadly a person at my church made him leave. Lord help us, convert us and our Fallen Religous,.

Did you realize, that you can use the medal as a single decade or ring rosary? The cross with four arms, three of it with pearls or rings and ten letters: CSSMD NDSMD. For this, of course, the letters must be noticeable, when you touch them with a finger. Furthermore the "Vade retro Satanas!", according to the bible, are words, told us by Jesus Christ. He said, when spoken in the Lords name, the devil has to obey. I'm sure he used no latin, but the aramaic or the hebrew language. So, our (roman-catholic) teacher told us, that it should help in any language. Which version is true?

[@catholicaromana]

I never realized you could use it as a Rosary before to count. Yes, any language is effective against evil. It does not matter what language you use, but Ecclesiastical Latin as proven in exorcism and evidenced by many exorcists has an extra hatred from the demons because it has been sanctified over the years as the official language of the Church.

Many priests are not familiar with the exorcism prayer or some are not comfortable with it. Some priests even frown upon the laity participating in spiritual warfare.

[@joseph4185]

Propria Ordinis S. Benedicti (Reserved to the order of S. Benedict) It has to be blessed by a Benedictine Priest! The expansion in 1964 of who can bless and exorcise a Benedictine medal was a conciliar novelty.

[@catholicaromana]

Even so, that only affects licitity. Any valid priest can validity do it by the nature of his priesthood, but in the past it was only licit for Benedictine priests.

[@joseph4185]

@@catholicaromana Medals of Saint Benedict are sacramentals that may be blessed legitimately by any priest or deacon -- not necessarily a Benedictine (Instr., 26 Sept. 1964; Can. 1168) I don't put any stock in the Conciliar Church since Vatican II. Father Amorth (God rest his soul) the "Vatican Exorcist," when asked about the new rite of exorcism, he said the new rite is unusable against the struggle against the demon. He goes on to say, "Efficacious prayers, prayers that had been in existence for twelve centuries, were suppressed and replaced by new ineffective prayers." Anyway, even if a deacon, not a priest, can licitly bless a Benedictine medal, it is of no benefit. That is what I believe. Pax Tecum!

[@WoodwoseRadio]

Guessing you're a cradle-Catholic, but I'm coming into the faith after decades of studying world religions, mythologies, and a stint as a Lutheran, but I'm trying to wrap my head around some matters of Catholic practice. You commented in this video that dream-catchers are "superstitious," and somehow, despite undergoing comparable rituals and being subjected to similar intentions, the consecrated medals, aren't. What's your definition of "superstition?"

[@generalmethuselah2352]

I strongly agree to you.

[@catholicaromana]

Superstition and divination is putting your belief in some other power than God. This is looking for luck or help from either an object or demon rather than from God. A saint Benedict Medal even if you do not believe in it, is attributed to God’s power and blessing and the item itself is meaningless without it.

[@gerryscully9248]

That’s a fair comment, however these items are Not talismans, that type of thing is witchcraft, it’s all about asking God to diispence some of the graces earned by these holy men or women by recognising and observing their example and asking through the intercession of these holy people to patition God for these graces for you in their name.

I don't know, here in Ireland you wouldn't argue with a priest let alone tell him his job. I think if I noticed the priest leaving out anything - or just quickly making the sign of the cross, I'd most likely thank him / her anyway, and try another priest later on...
