The Medal or Cross of St. Benedict

Item Details:

Rev. Martin Veth, O.S.B. 48 page booklet.

This publication explains how the Medal of St. Benedict was first known  “several hundred years before the year 1647!”  There are two types: the Ordinary Medal and the Jubilee Medal; both are highly indulgenced, but  more so for the Jubilee Medal. “Of the salutary effects produced through the pious use of the Medal, facts are narrated which might fill a large volume.” For this reason, the Church has raised the Medal of St. Benedict to the dignity  of a sacramental and it is the only medal in existence which is honored with a blessing of its own in the Roman Ritual! The generous indulgences are fully explained, along with the history and much more.
