It is related by Saint Gregory the Great (+603) that in the wilderness Benedict fed a raven with some of a portion of his bread.  When a jealous and wicked priest tried to kill Benedict with poisoned bread, Benedict coached the raven to take the deadly bread to a place where it couldn't harm another. The raven complied.

~The Rule of Benedict~

The Rules of St. Benedict was created by Benedict of Nursia OSB as a way to help teach his monks and nuns how to fulfill a basic life of following Christ. This guide is still followed by Benedictine monastery and covenant today. St. Benedict taught that stability is required to help follow a life through Christ, you must balance your work, prayer, study, and leisure.

🎀 Prayer

Benedict saw prayer as a foundation to the monastic life and calling, but also for non-monastics. He valued the process of communal prayer each day as well as silent pray and meditation.

🎀 Work

Not only was paid employment seen as important, but also work within faithful communities. St. Benedict saw work as a value and to bring dignity to each human being. The work must honor God.

🎀 Study

Reading the holy scripture, reading the rule, reading works of wisdom, or studying with others to strengthen our spirituality is important.

🎀 Hospitality

Invite strangers into your lives but also stay close to those already within your lives. Welcome each person as Christ himself and having the right approach to one another, is the key to a healthy sense of hospitality.

🎀 Renewal

Keeping a sabbath, gaining interests that remind us of the presence of God, or taking time to appreciate the beauty of our daily lives is a great way to have renewal. Remember that our lives are centered on Christ and that God is the ultimate center of the rule of life.

Saint Benedict For Protection With Bath Ritual & More.

If you need help protection yourself or your loved ones from evil and danger, You call upon Saint Benedict for help. Traditionally saints aren't apart of hoodoo but this one is powerful.

Who was Saint Benedict? Saint Benedict of Nursia. He was the son of a noble family, and founder of the Benedictine monastery , he went and founded twelve monasteries. When he was a young man, his family sent him to Rome for studies then went on to become a monk.

To Christians St. Benedict is proclaimed as the patron saint of Exorcisms. The Medal is recognized by the Church as a powerful symbol and weapon of protection and liberation against curses and evil influences which when used evil can't stand looking at it. (it's the one saint I would use against evil) Using this medal with prayer is powerful for removing evil as well as preforming with exorcisms. He is also the patron saint of Fields and Farmers.

Petitioning Saint Benedict. When you need protection from evil or the effects of temptation, Light a white candle and dressed around the wick with a dab of Angelica Oil (I use Holy Oil). Sit peacefully, and clear your mind. When you are ready, say his prayer. You can add incense with holy oil and burn. Use your bell and or rattle to clear the space and call apon him.

Protective Bath Saint Benedict: If you need this kind of protection, begin by drawing a bath of fresh, clean water. Add Holy Hyssop bath wash. Next day his prayer. When the bath is ready, step in and fully immerse yourself. Allow the power of the hyssop to cleanse and protect you. After you are ready, step out, and allow yourself to air dry.

Useing a Saint Benedict Medal: In your hands. Hold it to your heart, and ask the saint for help in protecting you from evil. But be specific in what your asking for.

This medal can be added with the railroad spikes or coffin nails that you put around your house or yard. Or you can make a charm. (see posts on both coffin nails & railroad spikes) before useing this medal bless it with a prayer like blessing a object prayer or have a minister like myself to do it for you.

Creating A Altar, You need image of the saint and a candle. A statue would work as well.

Offering: fresh flowers, or a glass of water on your altar.
