The St Benedict jubilee medal is inscribed with a
powerful exorcism prayer on it (a prayer that petitions God to banish diabolical spirits from a scene, object, home or person). This medal offers strong protections
against demonic and negative spirits. We use this blessed medal on a very
regular basis, as well as Catholic crucifixes with the medal embedded in the
center. It is critical to remember that unlike magick (which is Satan’s occultic
counterfeit of God’s real power), sacramentals such as crucifixes and blessed
medals are NOT talismans or amulets…they are sacred symbols of a real and
genuine faith. I see some individuals using these as if they were talismans, but from
seeing the fruit of their lives they obviously do not live lives of faith - they don't even attempt to do so. They
just wave these around and then live like they want to. It doesn’t work that
way, and is an affront to genuine faith. One may use symbols all day long, but
if there is no real or genuine faith that results in works that reflect a life
being lived out in faith—then they are useless. One may read about what can happen to impostors in the scriptures
in Acts 19:11-20.
On the other hand, used by people of faith who attend
Mass or Church regularly, work actively in their Parish, have a genuine prayer
and devotional life, regularly receive the Sacraments, help the needy and
poor, and do their best to avoid sin and ask forgiveness when they do
(Sacrament of Confession), then sacramentals such as the St. Benedict
medal can be efficacious and effective when dealing with demonic situations and
cases. It is my hope that this post will encourage the reader to focus more on
his or her faith life and pay attention to Church and the needs of one’s
spiritual life--especially those interested in helping people on cases of alleged paranormal activity.

leader).

quae libas...Ipse venena bibas.
(Begone Satan, entice me not with deceits…What you offer is
evil, drink your poison yourself.)
