BLESSING OF THE MEDAL OF ST. BENEDICT

BLESSING OF THE MEDAL OF ST. BENEDICT

Medals of St. Benedict may be blessed by any priest
(Instr. Sept. 26, 1964).

V. Our help is in the name of the Lord.

R. Who made heaven and earth.

Exorcism: In the name of God the Father  Almighty, who made heaven and earth, the seas and all that is in them, I exorcise these medals against the power and attacks of the evil one. May all who use these medals devoutly be blessed with health of soul and body. In the name of the Father  Almighty, of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, and of the Holy Spirit the Paraclete, and in the love of the same Lord Jesus Christ who will come on the last day to judge the living and the dead, and the world by fire.

R. Amen.

V. Lord, hear my prayer.

R. And let my cry come unto thee.

V. The Lord be with you.

R. And with your spirit.

Let us pray: Almighty God, the boundless source of all good things, we humbly, ask that, through the intercession of St. Benedict, you pour out your blessings upon these medals. May those who use them devoutly and earnestly strive to perform good works be blessed by you with health of soul and body, the grace of holy life, and remission of the temporal punishment due to sin. May they also, with the help of your merciful love, resist the temptations of the evil one and strive to exercise true charity and justice toward all, so that one day they may appear sinless and holy in your sight. This we ask through Christ our Lord.

R. Amen.

The medals are then sprinkled with holy water

BENEDICTIO NUMISMATUM S. BENEDICTI

Sacerdos benedicturus nusmismata sancti Benedicti, dicit:

V. Adjutórium nostrum in nómine Dómini.

R. Qui fecit cælum et terram.

Exorcízo vos, numísmata, per Deum Patrem omnipoténtem, qui fecit cælum et terram, mare et ómnia, quæ in eis sunt. Omnis virtus adversárii, omnis exércitus diáboli, et omnis incúrsus, omne phantásma sátanæ, eradicáre et effugáre, ab his numismátibus: ut fiant ómnibus qui eis usúri sunt, salus mentis et córporis: in nómine Pa tris omnipotentis, et Jesu Christi Fílii ejus, Dómini nostri, et Spíritus Sancti Parácliti, et in caritáte ejúsdem Dómini nostri Jesu Christi, qui ventúrus est judicáre vivos et mórtuos, et sǽculum per ignem.

R. Amen.

Kýrie, eléison. Christe, eléison. Kýrie,eléison.

Per Dóminum.

Dómine Jesu Christe, quio voluísti pro totíus mundi redemptióne de Vírgine nasci, circumcídi, a Judǽis reprobári, Judæ ósculo tradi, vínculis alligári, spinis coronári, clavis perforári, inter latrónes crucifígi, láncea vulnerári, et tandem in Cruce mori: per hanc tuam sanctíssimam passiónem humíliter exóro; ut omnes diabólicas insídias et fraudes expéllas ab eo, qui nomen sanctum tuum, his lítteris ac charactéribus a te designátis, devóte invocáverit, et eum ad salútis portum perdúcere dignéris: Qui vivis et regnas in sǽcula sæculórum.

R. Amen.

Deinde Sacerdos aspergit numismata aqua benedicta
