Use of the medal

Further information: Exorcism in Christianity

Lay Anglicans, Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, among Christians of other denominations are not permitted to perform exorcisms,^[11][12] but they can use the Saint Benedict Medal, holy water, the crucifix, and other sacramentals to ward off evil. The Saint Benedict Medal in the middle of a Celtic Cross is believed to be a powerful tool against evil influences.^[1][2]

This medal is used in numerous ways:

• on a chain around the neck;
• attached to one's rosary;
• kept in one's pocket or purse;
• placed in one's car or home;
• placed in the foundation of a building;
• placed in the centre of a cross.

The use of any religious article is intended as a means of reminding one of God and of inspiring a willingness and desire to serve God and neighbour.^[13] According to H. C. Lea (1896), "As a rule...it suffices to wear [the medal] devoutly, but, if some special favor is desired, it is advisable on a Tuesday to say five Glorias, three Aves and then three more Glorias to secure the protection of St. Benedict."^[14]

It is effective in many ways:

• to destroy witchcraft and all other diabolical and haunting influences;
• to impart protection to persons tempted, deluded, or tormented by evil spirits;
• to obtain the conversion of sinners to the Catholic Church, especially when they are in danger of death;
• to serve as an armour against temptation;
• to destroy the effects of poison;
• to secure a timely and healthy birth for children;
• to afford protection against storms and lightning^{[citation needed]};
• to serve as an efficacious remedy for bodily afflictions and a means of protection against contagious diseases.
