Patron Saint Medals are not merely ornaments or simple jewelry; they are symbols of faith, protection, and a personal connection to the divine. Each medal represents a specific saint, chosen for their virtues, miracles, or the patronage they hold over various aspects of life, from health and occupations to comfort during times of struggle.

 

A Divine Connection: Blessed by the Pope

What sets Catholically’s medals apart is the extraordinary blessing these items receive. Being blessed by the Pope in St. Peter’s Square infuses them with a profound spiritual significance. This blessing is a sacramental, a sacred sign that prepares those who receive it for the grace of the sacraments. The practice of having religious items blessed, especially by the Pope, dates back centuries, offering believers an additional layer of divine grace and protection.

 

Meet the Saints: Protectors and Guides

Our collection features medals of St. Michael, St. Benedict, St. Faustina, St. Anthony, St. Francis, and St. Padre Pio, each with a unique story and spiritual significance:

 

St. Michael the Archangel: The Defender Against Darkness

St. Michael the Archangel is revered across many faith traditions as the ultimate warrior against evil, leading God’s armies against Satan’s forces. His medal is not just a piece of metal; it’s a symbol of protection and strength. Depicting St. Michael defeating Satan, the medal serves as a reminder of the power of good over evil and is often worn by those seeking courage and protection in challenging times.

Prayer to St. Michael: “St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.”

St. Benedict of Nursia: Patron of Spiritual Protection

St. Benedict, the founder of Western monasticism, is known for his Rule of Saint Benedict, a guide to monastic life emphasizing prayer, work, and community living. The St. Benedict Medal, rich in symbolism, features the cross, St. Benedict’s image, and inscriptions related to his teachings. It’s sought for spiritual protection and blessing, especially against evil influences.

Prayer to St. Benedict: “Dear St. Benedict, you are a ‘blessing’ indeed, as your name indicates. Practicing what you preached, you founded the monastic tradition of the West by joining prayer to labor for God—both liturgical and private prayer. Help all religious to follow their Rule and be true to their vocation. May we all learn from you to serve God in a spirit of humility, obedience, and detachment from the world. Help us in the spiritual battle against the evil spirit. Amen.”

St. Faustina Kowalska: Messenger of Divine Mercy

St. Faustina, known for her diary detailing her conversations with Jesus and her visions, is most associated with the promotion of the Divine Mercy devotion. Her medals often depict the image of Divine Mercy—Jesus Christ with rays of mercy emanating from his heart—and serve as a reminder of God’s infinite mercy and love for all.

Prayer to St. Faustina: “Saint Faustina, you told us that your mission would continue after your death and that you would not forget us. Our Lord also granted you a great privilege, telling you to distribute graces as you will, to whom you will, and when you will. Relying on this, I ask your intercession for the graces I need, especially (here mention your intentions). Help me, above all, to trust in Jesus as you did and thus to glorify His mercy every moment of my life. Amen.”

St. Anthony of Padua: Finder of Lost Things

St. Anthony is beloved worldwide as the patron saint of lost items and causes, his intercession sought for finding things lost or stolen. He was known for his powerful preaching, expert knowledge of scripture, and undying love and devotion to the poor and sick.

Prayer to St. Anthony: “Dear St. Anthony, your prayers obtained miracles during your lifetime. You still seem to move at ease in the realm of minor and major miracles. St. Anthony, Performer of Miracles, please obtain for me the blessings God holds in reserve for those who serve Him. Pray that I may be worthy of the promises my Lord Jesus attaches to confident prayer. [Mention your special intentions]”

St. Francis of Assisi: Lover of All Creation

St. Francis is known for his profound love of nature and the poor, seeing the beauty of God in all creatures. He founded the Franciscan Order, lived a life of poverty, and is the patron saint of animals and the environment. His medal often depicts him with animals, reminding wearers to live a life of simplicity and harmony with nature.

Prayer to St. Francis:

“Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen.”
