The intercession of Saint Benedict has been sought since ancient times as a powerful defense against evil, temptations, and dangers to body and soul. With inscriptions such as "Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux" (The Holy Cross be my light) and "Nunc et in Hora Mortis Me " (Now and at the hour of my death), his medal and prayers have become a spiritual shield for the faithful. This book brings together that living tradition, offering a Novena to Saint Benedict for protection against evil, along with more than 30 prayers invoking the divine strength and grace of the holy abbot. In addition to the novena-which may be prayed both on his feast day and at any time of need-the book includes reflections on the life of Saint Benedict, traditional words and prayers, biblical quotations, devotional images, and spaces to write personal intentions. It is a practical and spiritual guide for those seeking refuge from the snares of the enemy, envy, temptations, or illnesses, and who wish to strengthen their faith with one of the oldest and most effective devotions of the Catholic Church.
