The Cross and Medal of Saint Benedict: A Mystical Sign of Divine Power

The spiritual wisdom of Saint Benedict has endured for centuries and quite literally shaped Western

culture from its inception. Tenets of the order, like its motto and Saint Benedict’s Rule, are just as

influential for lay people as they are for the Benedictine monks and nuns. The cross and medal of St.

Benedict is also among the gifts bestowed by the Benedictine Order. For centuries, it has been a conduit for

God’s power against malicious spirits.

The history of this cross and medal—how it first came about, how it was used, miracles attributed to

its use—was not easily apparent, nor readily accessible. However, this book successfully delineates the

history, theology, and potency of the cross and medal of St. Benedict. Drawing from a number of ancient

and reliable sources, Fr. Robert Nixon has compiled, translated, and edited a most powerful book on the

cross and medal of St. Benedict. With this book, you’ll learn from various saints and holy men as the

history of St. Benedict’s cross and medal unfolds. In doing so, you will learn about the life and legend of

St. Benedict, the Father of Western Monasticism, who established the most ancient religious order. Sancte

Benedicte, ora pro nobis!
