The St. Benedict Medal Explained

If you’ve been a follower of Jesus for more than a minute, then you’re probably all too familiar with the attacks of the devil that try to drag you off course in your spiritual life. We have all experienced these attacks and temptations, which can be pretty scary sometimes, yet we know God allows them for a reason.

But that’s not the end of the story! God also provides us with powerful protections against the powers of darkness.

Fr. Boniface Hicks explores one such method of protection, the St. Benedict Medal. He breaks down the symbolism and inscriptions that make this medal unique, explores its rich history, profound meaning, and monastic roots, and explains its significance in daily Catholic practice. Let the St. Benedict Medal be a powerful tool in your spiritual journey for protection and blessing from now on!
