St. Benedict,

You offered yourself to God by making your life an absolute gift to Him.

As a model of faith, trust, confidence and Love of God, you attracted many young and generous souls to the ideal of living for the Lord, in prayer, humility, and working for His glory and the salvation of souls.

You opposed Satan, the prince of this world, through the purity of your soul, and your absolute obedience to the Spirit of Love, and removed from his hands souls in perdition that he lured into damnation.

St. Benedict, intercede to God, that He may call to Him many pure, generous souls to live as you did.

Pray for us, St. Benedict, and help us deter the devil’s attempt to turn us away from the light of God, a light of Goodness, Love, and Eternal Salvation.

Protect us against all the snares of the devil, help us fight temptation, save us from evil influences.

St. Benedict, our protector against Lucifer and his henchmen, pray for us.

St. Benedict, protect us.

Amen.”
