XL St. Benedict medal. Silver oxidized and Made in Italy. Measures approximately 1 3/4 inches in height. These heavy, round medals of Saint Benedict can serve as a constant reminder of the need for us to take up our cross daily and "follow the true King, Christ our Lord." Therefore we learn to share in His heavenly Kingdom as Saint Benedict urges us in the Prolog of his Rule.
The prupose of this medal is to call down God's blessing and protection upon us wherever we are, and upon our homes and posessions especially through the intercession of Saint Benedict. By the concious and devout use of the medal, it becomes a silent prayer and reminder to us of our dignity of followers of Christ.
