Medal of Saint Benedict	Spiritual Warfare	Saturday, November 24, 2007
Question: Hi, I would like to encourage any one that is Suffering Spiritually to obtain a BENEDICTINE MEDAL and get it with a Special Blessing from a CATHOLIC PRIEST, follow this following link will show you the blessing prayer that you need in case the priest dont have it on them. [Moderators note: I have replaced these links with the official Benedictine links that gives the official description and blessing of the medal. See the link below.] This is your BIGGEST DEFENSE to fight of the Spiritual attacks of the Devil and it is one of the highest rated medallion of our Catholic Church. St. Benedict - The patron of the Poisoned Mind will pray and protect you through GOD'S powers. Be sure to Read the Benefits of it and how to use it. Below is a link for that also. The Benedictine Medal has helped me and family out a lot and it is very effective so i beg all of you to obtain one. MAY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST BLESS YOU ALL. http://www.osb.org/gen/medal.html
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear anonymous person: I normally do not post question unless the person signs their post. I am pretty sure that your name is NOT "Spiritual Warfare". I have changed your name to "George". If a poster does not want to use their real name that is okay, but you MUST use a real sounding human name, not a "handle" nor a name such as "St. so and so" (a saint's name as in "St. Benedict" though Benedict is okay as people are named that, but lose the "St"). Anyway, on to the post at hand... I agree that the St. Benedict Medal is a powerful and effective Sacramental, but we need to remember that the real power and effectiveness of any Sacramental is in the faith of the person who uses it, NOT in the medal itself. Medal are not talismans, they do not have magical powers. As for the St. Benedict medal being the BIGGEST DEFENSE, I am afraid that is not true. The Biggest Defense against the devil is living the good Sacramental Catholic life. Confession and the Eucharist are FAR FAR more powerful than any medal. Father Amorth has observed that the Sacrament of Confession by itself can be more powerful in delivering a possessed person then the Rite of Exorcism. As one old Baptist preacher once said, "The best way to keep the devil out, is to keep Jesus in." Frequent participation in the Sacraments (Confession and Eucharist), living the life of Christian charity, living a life in devotion and prayer to God and His saints, and always living in obedience to the Church -- these are the BIGGEST DEFENSES against the devil. With that said, as far as sacramentals go, the St. Benedict medal is very effective in that it has been highly indulgenced and blessed by many Popes, and St. Benedict himself is a mighty spiritual warrior. Demons do not like to be reminded of that. God Bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary For information on how to receive help see our Help page.
