THE CROSS MEDAL OF ST.BENEDICT ( Part2 )
1545-1563
Council of Trent
THE ORIGIN OF THE MEDAL OF ST.BENEDICT
The Medal of Cross St. Benedict is featured both in the leaflet of Rt. Rev. Fr. D. Prospero Gueranger, Abbot of Solmes,
and in the leaflet of Rt. Rev. Fr. D. Francesco Leopoldo Zelli jacobuzi, a Cassines monk in 1849. For the sake of brevity,
we shall confine ourselves to some brief hints. The devotion to the Medal of St. Benedict is old: but it would not be possible
to know precisely when it started.
An event reported in the life of Pope LeoIX, who was pope from 1048 to 1054, evidences its antiquity. This pope was born
in 1002 and was called Brunone; as a child he was taken care of by Bertodo, bishop of Toul.
On paying a visit to his parents to Eginiskeim Castel, while he was sleeping, a poisonous frog trode on his face and bit him dreadfully.
To the cries of the child came his parents.
After two month's terrible pains, once lost his voice, the child fully aware, saw a lighted stair, which, from the sick-bed, went out of the window and touched the sky. A venerable oldman was going down the stair, holding in his left hand a long staff on which the Cross of Christ was engraved. Once he reached the sick, the venerable old man touched Brunone with theCross. Then, the young man understood that the old man was the Patriarch St. Benedict,Suddenly, from a sore close tothe ear, thepoison went out, anda few days
later, once the sore healed, Brunone recovered completely. In became the centre of devotion to the Cross of St. Benedict, and from
Germany the habit of defense against the tricks of satan, started to on teh Breve dated 12th March 1742, opening with the words Coelestibus Ecclesiae devotion to the Medal and Cross of St. Benedict.
THE GROUNDS FOR THE PORTRAIT OF ST>BENEDICT'S IMAGE ON THE MEDAL OF THE HOLY CROSS
The portrait of St. Benedict on the Medal and Cross is due to gain indulgences.
The honour of being featured on the medal, together with the image of the Holy Cross, was conferred to St. Benedict to show how
efficiently the sacred sign proved to be in his hands.
St. Gregory, as a Patriarch, featured him while banning the temptations with the sign of the Holy Cross, while breaking the cup full of poison, while extinguishing the fiery fire blazed out in the monastery; again he showed him while teaching his devotees to make the
sign on the heart with the Cross, as as to rescue it from devilish allurements. st. Benedict while founding a new Christian era in
replacement of the hearthen one, uproots the idols and statues of the false and Iying gods, changing them with the Christian symbols
and statues. The first among all the Christian signs is the symbole of the Cross of Christ. satan is always idolater and creator of idols against the true Only God St. Benedict, uprooting the idols of satan, showed all Western would the right path, that of the Cross of
Christ. Therefore, his Portrait is entitled to be featured on his Medal and to be engraved on the miraculous Cross named
St. Benedict.
Following the example of the Father Founder, famous and holy Benedictines worked wonders in the sign of the Cross ranging from
St. mauro to St. Placido, to St. Benedict Revello, bishop of Albenga, and again from St. Riemiro to St. Anselm of Canterbury, and
to St. Gregory VII and many, many others.

THE CROSS MEDAL OF SAINT BENEDICT
WHO IS SAINT BENEDICT?
The Lord revealed to Saint Geltrude, a great Benedictine saint : " the sons of St.Benedict will be of great help to my Church,
especially lately". Over 15 centuries have passed since his birth : he was born in Norcia in 480.
Again, in these days, there is the willingness to get acquainted with him, and, even more, to invoke His mighty protection
and intercession. The first hints are given by the sacred liturgy when it sings his praises and the merits, on occasion of his
anniversary of his celebration to Heaven, on 21st March, or as the Patron of Europe, on 11th July. The glorious father,
Benedict by name and by grace, lead a pious life. Since his childhood, ripe in his spiritual experience, he never went astray,
allured by earthly pleasures.
Of noble origin, he moved from Norcia to Rome where he took up his education. Soon he left Rome, depraved and a corrupter,
he gave up human science, but he was gifted with holy wisdom. Free to enjoy the blessings of life, he despised the world with all his charme as waste ( from Liturgy).
St. Gregory the Great, in his Dialogues, les us know that , once he left Rome, accompanied by his foster-mother, he worked his first miracle: aborrowed sieve slipped out of the hands of a woman and being of earthenware, fell to pieces: the prayer of the young Benedict
succeeded in fixing up the tool and in handing it back as good as new to the astonished foster-mother. Then, St. Benedict ran a high risk:
the praise from men, but the Man of God, prefered suffering to the praises from the world, and the labour for God to the honours of the men. He forsook his foster-mother and retired into the bare cave of Subiaco.
In loneliness, under the eyes of God only, he perused the Holy Scliptures, his only food, consolation and light. But light cannot be hidden long under the bushel: to him came poor shepherds to be tought, some monks of Vicovaro wanted him to be their abbot, but later repented their choice, as Benedict wanted to lead them again to strictly comply with Rule, they attempted to poison him.
Benedict got to know the wished plot, inspired by the enemy of the souls and he traced the sign of the cross on the cup handed to him.
The cup, as hit by a stone, could not stand the sign of life and fell to pieces.
Then, Benedict forsook his false brothers and went back to his beloved loneliness. That was the time in whiich the lamp was to be
well-raised, so that, everybody could profit of its light.
Rumors were heard of his Holiness, many people came to him inorder to be of service to the Almighty God.
Once St. Benedict understood the God's will, he builtup twelve monks each. Some of these, perhaps the youngsters, including Mauro and Placido, were kpe by his side to be taught how to lead monastic life...hence the Benedict, led by the God's Spirit, bequeathed to his monks a guide, his Rule, renowed for its discretion, the straight and narrow path to reach the kingdom of Heaven.
St. Benedict founded his Order on the Rock of the World, and hereupon he wanted the lives of his sons to be anchored, as well as the lives of those who want to follow him in the life of Holiness. To the World he added the never-ending prayer of heart in the union to the Divine Master Benedict was the God's friend and God denied his faithful servant anything. He worked great miracles, resuscitated the dead, subdued the pride of the great ( Totila). His was revolution of Love. While the Roman Empire was falling, here was coming a new era, supported by this great Saint: his sons spread the Gospel throughout Europe, overcoming huge diffclluties bearing the witness of the faith till the self-sacrifice (matyr).
Prayer, ceaseless fight against the enemy of the souls that could not bear such a great Holiness. Ever since the beginning of his life devoted to God, when the young Benedict was still in his Cave of Subiaco, the internal enemy attmpted in various ways to stray him from the path undertaken. Dreadful temptations, memories of Rome, the young man lived a moment in which the choice between God and the world of the devil was urgent. The Lord won, thanks to the fortitude of the young Benedict, who, in order to take out the enemy's thorns from the heart, throw himselfl naked into a huge brable-bush and inside it, he turned over several times, he spirted blood, but the pricks of the sexual urges ended forever. Benedict stood up mighty against teh enemy, this latter went on fighting but to no purpose. In vain he would cry out: Benedict, no, no damn you, damn you.
Still now the great saint is mighty against the enemy and helps his devotees, to beat him with his own very words, those engraved in his medal, called miraculous for the blessings given by the Church and here they are: "Back, satan, you will not lead me into temptaion, your beverages (temptations) are bad, you can drink yourself your own poison.
Be the Holy Cross my light, the enemy will not be my master ".
St Mauro, one of the first sons of St. Benedict, went evangelize the Gaul ( France ) and with the Cross of the Holy Patriarch, worked several miracles and rescued the souls from the devilish seducer.
After much labour borne for the Lord, it was time for St. Benedict to depart from this world. Father, sustained by his sons in choir, after having received Holy Communion. he passed away and seated at the supper of the great Thursday before Easter in the God's Kingdom.
This is the path though which the Father of the Western monks, the great patron of Europe, went and left us as a good example.
A path that still nowadays wants to interweave with those that rely on him, to achieve the heavenly goal.
At the beginning of these humble hints on St. Benedict I dealt with promise made by the Lord to St. Benedict and that St. Geltrude reported to us. I believe this is the time in which such a promise should be kept. Do the sons and daughters of St. Benedict undertake the tack of spreading the devotion, of getting people acquainted with him, so that many Christians can experience His inter-cession, His power against the devil who, as ever as before, tempts the souls and, once backed up by His patronage, they can come to enjoy that Peace, witnessed by the motto on each Benedicitine cenoby: PAX. A Benedictine

Chalcedonian Creed
- We, then, following the holy Fathers, all with one consent,
- teach people to confess one and the same Son,
- our Lord Jesus Christ,
the same perfect in Godhead and also perfect in manhood;
- truly God and truly man, of a reasonable [rational] soul and body;
- consubstantial [co-essential] with the Father according to the Godhead,
- and consubstantial with us according to the Manhood;
- in all things like unto us, without sin;
- begotten before all ages of the Father according to the Godhead,
- and in these latter days, for us and for our salvation, born of the
Virgin Mary,
- the Mother of God, according to the Manhood;
- one and the same Christ, Son, Lord, only begotten,
- to be
acknowledged in two natures, inconfusedly, unchangeably,
- indivisibly,
inseparably;
- the distinction of natures being by no means taken away by the
union,
- but rather the property of each nature being preserved,
- and
concurring in one Person and one Subsistence, not parted or divided
into two persons,
- but one and the same Son, and only begotten, God the
Word, the Lord Jesus Christ;
- as the prophets from the beginning [have declared] concerning
Him,
- and the Lord Jesus Christ Himself has taught us,
- and the Creed of the holy Fathers has handed down to us.
