Frequently Asked Questions  (FAQs)

 

Are there any significance to the cross?

To represent the TRINITY, 3 different type of solid wood were used to build this cross. 

 

The Celtic Ring represents the infinite love of the Heavenly Father.

The Miraculous Medal is embedded on the lower portion of the Cross to represent the Blessed Mother united to Jesus at the foot of the cross. 

The St. Benedict medal is embedded on all  Crosses and gains a possibility of 20 indulgences to those who use this with faith and devotion.  The 

 St. Benedict medal is tinted with gold and silver leafing to accent the Latin inscriptions.

What is exorcised salt and where do you put it?

Exorcised salt is a sacramental of the Church.   When the Church asks publicly and authoritatively in the name of Jesus Christ that a person or object be protected against the power of the Evil One and withdrawn from his dominion, it is called exorcism.  Jesus performed exorcisms and from Him the Church has received the power and office of exorcising. 

In the prayer of exorcising salt, God endows material elements with a supernatural power of protecting those who use them with faith against all the attacks of the enemy. Exorcised salt is used either in areas considered infected by demonic forces or for the protection of homes, buildings, and fields.

 

A hole is strategically drilled at the bottom of the crucifix and sealed with wax. 

If a spiritual need arises, one simply punctures this seal to let out the exorcised salt.  The following prayer is recommended:

 

 "I seal this {room or home } in the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ our Savior, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen."

Can we buy the St.   Benedict Cross in any Catholic Gift Shops in the US?

 

No.    At the moment, it is only available online or by contacting us.

 

What do you mean the Cross of St.  Benedict comes with a Certificate of Authenticity?

 

The product is an original hand-crafted artwork by Oblate Patrick Campbell .  Thus, no two crosses are alike. The Certificate of Authencity is a specialty paper that shows  an identifiable unique code and number plate with the  signature of Patrick Campbell  and the signature of the priest who blessed the cross with an Approved Benedictine  Prayer.  This information is recorded in our book.

 As St. Basil the Great says, "The honor shown the image passes over to the archetype." He also illustrates the concept by saying, "If I point to a statue of Caesar and ask you 'Who is that?', your answer would properly be, 'It is Caesar.' When you say such you do not mean that the stone itself is Caesar, but rather, the name and honor you ascribe to the statue passes over to the original, the archetype, Caesar himself." So it is with an Icon.  You are putting honor to the Icon to which it represents and not the substance.   God carefully chose  wood to redeem us in the person of Jesus Christ.

 Is the Crucifix Blessed Already By a Benedictine Priest?

 

No, we do not sell blessed items.  If requested, the St. Benedict Cross will be brought to a holy priest who will pray   a  special Benedictine Blessing (with exorcism prayers) for the St. Benedict medal to gain favor of the  indulgences.

 

How will the Cross of St. Benedict become a 3rd Class Relic?

 

After purchase, the Cross of St. Benedict will be touched to the FIRST CLASS RELIC of the TRUE CROSS in our Oratory.
