The Medal of St. Benedict

Today is the Feast of St. Benedict, and as a part of the celebration I shall introduce to readers a devotional object, known as The Medal of St. Benedict .

(Via EWTN.)

Please check out the link to the EWTN article in the previous paragraph for much useful info on the wearing and history of the medal.

I find it interesting that this medal would be of great use to alcoholics and addicts, you will know what I mean when you read the prayers associated with it. (especially the lines: The cup you offer is evil; drink the poison yourself!)

Are you a creative Catholic? "The Catholicpunk Manifesto" is my new book exhorting Catholics to apply their faith to change the culture for the better!

Know someone, perhaps yourself, who might like Catholic devotionals for alcoholics? Please take a look at my books! "The Stations of the Cross for Alcoholics" and "The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts" (Thank you!!)
