St Benedict Saints Religious Medal Handcrafted Bracelet

THE JUBILEE MEDAL OF ST. BENEDICT

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.

St. Benedict (born at Nursia, Italy, in 480) had a profound veneration for the holy Cross and for our Saviour Crucified. In virtue of the Sign of the Cross, he wrought many miracles and exercised great power over the spirits of darkness. In consequence of the great veneration in which St. Benedict was held from the early Middle Ages, it followed that a Medal was struck, one side of which represents St. Benedict holding the Cross in one hand and the Holy Rule in the other. Around the image of St. Benedict are these words in Latin "May his presence protect us in the hour of death." St. Benedict has ever been the patron of the dying, because of the circumstances attending his own most glorious death, for he breathed forth his soul while standing in prayer before the Most Blessed Sacrament.

The reverse of the Medal shows the image of the Cross. Around the margin are the initials of Latin words which form verses supposed to have originated with the holy Father Benedict himself. The English translation is: "Be gone Satan! Suggest not to me thy vain things. The cup thou profferest me is evil; drink thou thy poison." In the angles formed by the arms of the Cross are the letters C.S.P.B., signifying "Cross of the holy Father Benedict." The letters on the Cross itself have this meaning: "May the holy Cross be my light; let not the dragon be my guide."

Medals of Saint Benedict are sacramentals that may be blessed legitimately by any priest or deacon

PRAYER TO ST. BENEDICT

Glorious St. Benedict, sublime model of virtue, pure vessel of God's grace! Behold me humbly kneeling at your feet. I implore you in your loving kindness to pray for me before the throne of God. To you I have recourse in the dangers that daily surround me. Shield me against my selfishness and my indifference to God and to my neighbor. Inspire me to imitate you in all things. May your blessing be with me always, so that I may see and serve Christ in others and work for His kingdom.

I created another bracelet honoring St. Benedict. When I am inspired to create a bracelet for St. Benedict I'm drawn to make it with black, there is something that draws me to that color no matter what other colors I may consider, black stands out more.

I added a large St. Benedict medal, beautiful ornate crucifix and many Italian oxidized medals including St. Joan of Arc, St. Dominic with Queen of Most Holy Rosary, Our Lady of Guadalupe with Holy Child of Atocha.

I created this bracelet honoring St. Benedict using a 3rd class relic medal of St. Benedict. I also used other Catholic medals including St. Francis of Assisi, St. Padre Pio, Our Lady of Lourdes with St. Bernadette, St. Jude, Divine Child and others.

I used natural onyx "Biblical Stone" ONYX: Religious Meaning: This stone is mentioned in the Bible (Gen. 2:8, 10-12) as one of the stones in the Garden of Eden. I also added several turquoise beads and glass pearls.
