30 years ago, I met a nun in a train to Paris. We talked abt faith，me protestant. She gave me this medal in silver. I wore it for years but then I lost it. I found it recently and am wearing it again. My wife doesn't like it bc it is too catholic.
In the summer I visited a church in France (Avignon ) and attended Mass there, after the Mass I stopped by a tomb of a Pope and prayed. Then walking out into a small boutique and small black beads rosary got my attention so I bought it as souvenirs . When I got home and asked a priest to bless it. He realized it was a St Benedict rosary so he also exorcized it. Then some time later I realized the day I attended Mass was St Benedict feast day although I remembered hearing the priest mentioned “st Benoit” in French but I wasn’t sure the name Benoit was Benedict and when I zoomed in the picture that I took of the tomb of the French pope that I prayed to, his papal name was Benedict XII . Now it is my car and I pray with this rosary everyday at lunch break at work ❤ and the rosary was made by the Benedictine monks in an abbey in Provence (the area where Avignon is)
Ive seen the power of this sacramental work in my own life. I work nights as a janitor at a high school in my neighborhood. Its kind of a rough area, crime, gang activity, I can only imagine the history, the countless lives lost to these hardships. Well long story short, after working at this school for more than a year I've seen and heard alot of spooky stuff (shadow figures, heavy footsteps on the roof, a heavy presence that envelops the entire room). I used to carry my rosary with me to work, it has a St Benedict medal on it, but I saw a difference in its efficacy once i started wearing it around my neck. Now my nights are quite and peaceful, until i forget to wear my medal then all hell breaks loose and im back to reciting my latin prayers all night. ...and now I lost that peace by bing disobedient to God. Only fasting and prayer is going to bring that peace back.
Fr Blount did this with the permission of the principal of a school in Texas. I can’t remember why they contacted him but our children really need the protection as do you. May Our Lord Bless You and May St Benedict Watch Over You!
The Lord may have positioned you there to pray over that physical space and for the souls in the surrounding area that have suffered immensely and seek rest. If I may, I would recommend finding a local prayer/intercessory group to join in prayer for the healing/salvation of lost souls and for evil spirits to be cast away from that area. May the Holy Spirit guide you to discern what the Lord wants you to do. God bless you.
I heard that an exorcist from the Catholic Church asked the spirit of murder who was their nemesis...the spirit of murder answered St. Thomas Becket. Perhaps this saint could be an ally you can turn to for intercession in tandem with St. Benedict to drive away the darkness and to protect you . God bless
For three years, I had been dealing with a very difficult individual in my office I prayed for. They had a lot of unexplained distain for me at introduction. Two weeks ago, it reached its pinnacle when they became very irritable towards me. I got a Saint Benedict medal necklace to wear, and for a day straight meditated/silently sang the prayer with breaks only when necessary. Shortly after in that same week I received news they were leaving for a new opportunity. It’s heartbreaking to think the grasp of evil can be so strong when we don’t offer our hearts to God, but Thanks Be TO GOD for relieving me of this affliction.
Benedict is my patron saint - and he’s the patron saint of Europe. Now more than ever we need prayers of intercession to save Europe. Benedictine monks are one of the greatest groups to have ever existed when you look at what they have done over time.
God is truly good! Sunday, a woman from my church was giving out those medals and I took one, I was curious about the meaning and now, without even searching I see this video on my feed. All glory be to Him!
I bought a crucifix with the St Benedict medal completely by accident, and then later my mother in law came back from a trip to Hungary with a bracelet for me full of them. I can't help but feel these were not coincidences, because the more I learn about St Benedict the more I like him!
I wear this often as a regular no or bracelet. I gave it to my children as well. Every crucifix in our home has the Saint Benedict medal on it. Very powerful protection against evil. We SO need this today.
I had been hearing about the St. Benedict medal, so I asked my mom for one for my birthday. She got me one, and my aunt who had NO IDEA what the medal was, and isn’t Catholic, and didn’t know I asked for one bought me a rosary covered in them!
I am an Benedictine oblate. I have a medal, blessed and exorcised. The Benedictines saved civilization after the fall of Rome. May have to do it again the way things are going.
I just found a St Benedict medal in my late mother’s suitcase that she took to the hospital when she went for the last time 2.5 years ago. And this is the first video at the top of my feed today. ❤😢
Thank you so much for sharing! I am a recent convert to Catholicism (from Protestant). I was given a nice rosary as a baptism gift, and it has a St. Benedict metal on it - so glad to have more info about it!
God has a beautiful way of putting things exactly where they need to be, I just stumbled on this after vaguely learning about the Benedictine Medal, then learning there is a prayer that goes with it that is important… then finding a rosary with the medal and a prayer card, and now this: also in retrospect a lot of rosaries and other devotionals probably have this. Praise be to God
I grew in my faith last year and asked God for “ whatever I need in my life from you I’m open and ready for it” well this medal kept popping up on my TH-cam so a year later I carry one daily and learned it and Latin along with Our father, st micheal, Hail Mary and this beautiful symbol of Gods love and protection over us
Thank you, Father! I just purchased and had blessed 10 Benedictine medals. I intend to give them out to people in need. I sincerely appreciate the explanation of the words and power of this medal so I can pass it on. ❤ ✝️
When I moved from my dads a very beautiful rosary with these inscriptions just popped up. I had 3 rosary’s before and didn’t buy another. Not sure where I came from but once I looked at the meanings I was awee stuck. I have no idea what it popping up in my life means but it was really awesome
I went to a Benedictine school and have been carrying the Benedictine medal ever since. My 2 kids wear them, too. My 7-year old would always make sure he is wearing it especially when he goes to school or out for that matter. I have given Benedictine medals to friends and family. ❤❤❤
Your eyes overwhelm me with purity Father. I feel I need to go to confession as I feel like I am not worthy to even watch. 😅 I will watch though with the grace of God the Father Almighty. Amen 🙏🏼 ❤
St. Benedict led my journey into the Catholic Church. I got his medal and attached it to my purse to carry it with me everywhere. I really appreciate this presentation explaining details about the cross and its markings that I didn't know about. I have saved it so as to refer to it frequently. Thank you!
Hi Father Boniface from Kittanning PA! You conducted a retreat for the Secular Discalced Carmelites at St. Emma's Monastery some years ago, and it was great. Thank you for your Spiritual insight and sharing your Faith with the world. And thank you for sharing on Ascension Presents! God bless you!
Hi Father, it's wonderful to see you embracing the prophetic blessing you received at the Cor et Lumen Christi conference. May God keep showering you with His grace for your generosity-He never lets it go unnoticed. A kind word is better than the best gift!
I spent this last Triduum when the Benedictines in Oxford, MI, and got my metal blessed on Easter morning after Mass. what a beautiful experience! CSSML NDSMD VRS NSMV SMQL IVB
I love Fr. Boniface! I have had the privilege of speaking with him on more than one occasion. He is truly insightful and keeps an infectious calm about him. Glad to see content like this so his gifts can be more widely shared.
Father Boniface , I was in Indianapolis during the Eucharistic Congress as a lifelong Catholic. I have never been struck down with Jesus like I did as you walked with the Monstrance in your hands.All around . And as I stood alone, watching through Lucas oil stadium and I watch people all around me ,up above below me ,beside me .. coming to Christ, such an amazing time in our lives.! Blessed be God forever
I will not leave my house without wearing this metal. It is Blessed. I said the Novena to Saint Benedict. At work or in public some people can't look at. I'm learning this prayer in Latin. Thank you Father Bonifice. I also carry the meaning written down.
Amen, Saint Benecit Pray for us, keep away all evil, vices, lies, witchcraft and all evil from our lives. May we always live a Blessfull life according to our Father who Art in Heaven Christ!!
Father Dom Benedict thank you Jesus for the healing I received through your servant, now in Heaven May you rest in peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️Alleulia his favorite word Beloved children of the Father 🙏🏾🙏🏼🙏🏽
All my blessed St. Benedictine Metals are above each and every entrance into our house - all doors and windows. For each placement the St. Benedict Prayer is spoken and then hung. It helps keep the evil at bay. God Bless you all!!!
St Benedict pray for Vanessa to controll her bad temper at me her mother. I feel sad when shout at me. St Benedict protect Vanessz from the evil one. Amen
Fr. Boniface, thank you for explaining what the inscriptions on the Benedictine medal stand for. About 2 years ago, I searched for a Benedictine priest on TH-cam and you were the only one I could find. Maybe you could share a little about the incorruptible Benedictine nun, Sister Wilhelmina. God bless.🙏🙏
St padre pio please 🙏🏽 pray for me and my family I love you so much I hope you we’ll come back soon to visit me and my family we need your help conversions I think you amen 🙏🏽

You can also keep it in your pocket. ❤
Keep wearing it. May God bless you and your marriage. 🤍♥️
May this medal protect you from all evil 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Plant the blessed medals around the perimeter of the school property! Then, the students and teachers will benefit, too! 🙏🌹
@janeyount8412 haha, I gotta ask first, since they're watching the camera recordings, but I thought about doing something like that.

God is good. Could you please share that prayer? Thanks
Which St Benedict prayer did you say? Is it the one in the medal?
You are awesome father God bless.
Oh, Mary concieved without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee...Jesus I trust in You. 🙏

muslims and jews have to be expelled
I found this medal in a car park, walked apon it.
I picked it up. ❤
Kept it ❤
God is truly good! Sunday, a woman from my church was giving out those medals and I took one, I was curious about the meaning and now, without even searching I see this video on my feed. All glory be to Him!
Stories like this show us that God is always with us, we just have to pay attention.
Same here!

Not a coincidence!❤

That's really cool!
I am an Benedictine oblate. I have a medal, blessed and exorcised. The Benedictines saved civilization after the fall of Rome. May have to do it again the way things are going.
I’m an oblate too :)
I agree with your thought.
But how can we get our metals exorcised? I’m being told it’s not done anymore
@@libertyqueenbee1473you just need it to be blessed by a priest and its ok to use it
Ask a priest if he's an exorcist or knows of one who can exercise the metal, rosary, holy water , and or salt, all used rid the devil.
@@libertyqueenbee1473 I had a priest do it for me. He was a Benedictine.
Fr. Boniface is awesome, would love to see more of him on Ascension Presents!
I just found a St Benedict medal in my late mother’s suitcase that she took to the hospital when she went for the last time 2.5 years ago. And this is the first video at the top of my feed today. ❤😢
Wow! How positively benign and meaningless!
@@marya9039 LOL. You're just but hurt my dear. Hopefully you'll get over it. Good luck.
It’s been my experience that the coincidental signs that you experienced can be very important messages from above.
@@nyc4044 Isn't also possible that she is suffering from delusions or some sort of hallucination? That is possible right?
She is happy in heaven.❤
What a sign! I bought some medals today and was able to get them blessed, and now seeing this video!
Get them exorcised in the old rite
@@evaamiira can you expound on this?
I grew up with a Benedictine education and have always valued the medal!❤
God bless you Father.
I wear this medal along with my brown scapula everyday and night. I feel enormous peace and safety. ❤ plus the miraculous medal and Saint Anthony ❤
Great explanation on the St. Benedict medal. St. Benedict, saint of a happy death, be with me today and at the hour of my death. Also, pray for me.
Thank you so much for sharing! I am a recent convert to Catholicism (from Protestant). I was given a nice rosary as a baptism gift, and it has a St. Benedict metal on it - so glad to have more info about it!

Thank you, Father. 🙏🏻 I will now wear my medal the "right way" around! St. Benedict, ora pro nobis.
I could use a friend like Father Boniface.
Thank you, Father! I just purchased and had blessed 10 Benedictine medals. I intend to give them out to people in need. I sincerely appreciate the explanation of the words and power of this medal so I can pass it on. ❤ ✝️
Hello, where did you get them blessed? And how did you ask? I know there’s a particular prayer it has to be blessed with.
@@OrchidKiller I asked a deacon at my Catholic Church to bless them. He put Holy water on them and said a blessing. God be with you ❤️
St. Benedict, pray for us!! I have saint Benedict medals around my house.
I have this medal. Had it blessed and I wear it all the time🙏🙏🙏
I just had a feeling St. Benedict was a pretty cool dude!
Thank you Father God Bless you
சேசுவுக்கே புகழ்... மரியாயே வாழ்க 🙏
No one ever explained the full meaning, letters, etc. in this profound medal ...Thank you❤
When I moved from my dads a very beautiful rosary with these inscriptions just popped up. I had 3 rosary’s before and didn’t buy another. Not sure where I came from but once I looked at the meanings I was awee stuck. I have no idea what it popping up in my life means but it was really awesome
Very surprised at the amount of negative comments on here.
Truly we need the St Benedict Medal as the serpent is residing around this channel 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love this medal ❤
