Radio Interview: The Spiritual Power of the St. Benedict Cross and Medal August 26, 2024By Catholic Review Staff Catholic Review Filed Under: Books, Feature, Local News, News, Radio Interview, Saints The cross and medal of St. Benedict is considered one of the most powerful sacramentals of the Catholic Church. But where did this spiritual object come from, and how did it derive its power? George Matysek talks about it with Benedictine Father Robert Nixon, a monk with the Abbey of the Most Holy Trinity in Western Australia. Father Nixon is the author of a new book by Tan Books called “The Cross and Medal of St. Benedict, a Mystical Sign of Divine Power.” The book is made up of text from authors including St. Gregory the Great and St. Bernard of Clairvaux. Father Nixon painstakingly translated the works from the original Latin. Click play below to listen to the full episode.
