i also wear a st benedict medal:

the Jubilee medal of St. Benedict. The medal is said to have many pious purposes: 1. It protects the wearer against the Devil 2. It obtains conversion for sinners 3. It protects against those tormented or tempted by the Devil and especially against temptations against purity 4. It procures assistance at the hour of death 5. It gives strength and healing to the sick and is a protection against pestilence 6. Expectant mothers have obtained special assistance for a safe delivery 7. It protects against storms and other perils on land and sea 8. It helps heal animals who are infected with disease St. Benedict is one of the most important saints of the Western Medieval Church. He had a key role in establishing monasticism as a vocation. He is said to have worked many miracles by use of the sign of the Cross and also to have vanquished many evil spirits.

I have rubbed the medal on chanel's chest when she has had one of her attacks.

Thanks-I’ll get one next time I’m at the Catholic store-I keep a St Francis one in the house, and a St Jude one and a prayer card in my purse with my rosary-and I need to ask a friend of mine who does business in the valley to go to the shrine of St. Jude there and bring me holy water-I like the holy water from there.
