spathariossa Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 [quote name='Benedict' date='Jan 2 2005, 03:42 PM'] You feel fine not wearing my patron's medal? :ph34r: [/quote] I have too many of your patron's medal. My chaplet is benedictine so it has one. Then my scapular has an attached medal of St. Benedict. Then my cross is a crux sancti patris benedicti. So, that's 3 that I wear all the time lol.

Tony Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 just remember the medals are for devotional purporses.. if someone has a ton of medals they wear I kind of doubt they have a devotion to all of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Cube Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 (edited) I wear a brown scapular. Edited January 2, 2005 by Mr. Cube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tink Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 just for clarification, Tony, I do have a strong devotion to St. Brigid (my confirmation saint) and St. Patrick and St. Christopher, whom have been involved with several miraculous events in my life! They remain with me, not just as jewelry, but as reminders of several important lessons I have learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Benedictine monks were solely responsible for my return to God and eventually the Church. So St. Benedict is important to me. St. Jeanne is my patron. St. Gabriel is the archangel I pray to most and St. Martin of Tours reminds me of my duties to the poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allis-challmers Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I wear a miraculas metal and a scapular metal that I got from my church when I got my first communion in the second grade about 12 years ago or so.

MilesChristi Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 +JMJ+ I usually stick with just a crucifix. When I wear more than one medal, the chains tend to get all tangled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have you know i have a devotion to all 7 of my medals. Is it impossible to have a devotion to that many people? So you only have to pick like 2 people you can be devoted to? humph! anyway here are my medals: I have one medal of Blessed (or is it saint now?) Faustina she is an awesome person and reminds me to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet. Next is my Padre Pio medal which my mother gave me. Next is my Four way Cross which is so cool cause on the back it says I am a catholic please call a priest. you know in case you are found injured some where , Next is a cross that was given to me as an award for being the most enthusiastic at an ecyd mini convention, it is from Rome that has the symbol for God on it, you know the P with the line throught it and an O and an A for Alpha and Omega. After that I have a miraculous medal which should be obvious why i wear that. Then i have a medal that has saint Cecilia on one side and Saint Genesius on the other my music director told me that they were patron saints of musiccians and i am in the chior. And last but not least a Crusifix. I also wear a brown crusader scapular that just happens to have a small crusifix and miraculous medal attached. Random bit of trivia it is the same kind of scapular that mel gibson wears around his neck hehe. And I always wear my chastity ring which i got for my 13th birthday, it is a gift wrapped heart. When ever i take it off to cook or something my hand feels naked. Karin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathqat Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 [quote name='Chris Zewe' date='Jan 2 2005, 03:35 PM'] I've got a pentacle necklace, but I don't see it on the list... [/quote] That qualifies as "one medal." It's on the list. A pentangle or pentacle is a good choice. According to medieval symbolism, it represents the five joys of Mary (now "the Joyful Mysteries" of the Rosary) and the five wounds of Christ. Sir Gawain has one on his shield, for example, in [i]Sir Gawain and the Green Knight[/i]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most rosaries I've ever seen on a person, on the other hand, were on a woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melporcristo Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 i wear my brown scapular (even tho its falling apart) and my medal from my quincenera of Our Lady as a sign of purity (of course). I used to have the Holy Love bead necklace, but I took it off because ppl said it was creepy, so then I lost it! Thats what I get though ... here is a pic of what the bead looked like:[url="http://www.rosaryoftheunborn.com/smallRosary.html"]Rosary for the Unborn[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
