POWER OF SACRAMENTALS ~
ST BENEDICT MEDAL
A Franciscan named Father Dominic Szymanski (a
one time companion of St. Maximillian Kolbe) was working with a Benedictine
priest, when Fr. Dominic asked the Benedictine if he was wearing the medal
of St, Benedict. The Benedictine responded, "Yes, I am." Father Szymanski
told him that he saw the devil in the form of a blue light going around
him in circles, and that the evil spirit
was unable to touch him because he was wearing
the medal. The St. Benedict medal may be pinned to the clothes of
infants who are agitated, pregnant mothers or anyone who wants protection
from evil.

SCAPULAR OF OUR LADY OF MT CARMEL
The use of the scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel
and the Rosary are two sacramentals specifically mentioned in the Vatican
II document on the church "Lumen Gentium." The blessing of the rosary states,
"Nos eriperes de potestate diaboli" Our Lord Jesus Christ through
His life, death and resurrection has "snatched us from the power of the
devil."

THE ROSARY
Abundant graces are granted through proper recitation
of the rosary, "Ab omni hoste visibili et invisibili et ubíque in
hoc sáeculo liberetur" (from every enemy both visible and invisible
and everywhere in this lifetime be freed). St. Dominic freed a heretic
from 15,000 devils, when the man had blasphemed the Blessed Mother and
the Rosary. St. Dominic preached on the fifteen mysteries of the rosary
and asked the faithful to pray and meditate. For every mystery, 1,000 demons
left him in the form of burning coals until he was delivered.

The rosary is the chain that Our Lady uses to bind
Satan. It is often seen in a possessed individual, that the demon is irritated
and they complain that the rosary burns them and they often destroy the
rosary. Shared by Fr Joe (USA)
