6mm Hematite St. Benedict Rosary | Silver Ox Crucifix & Center
A hematite St. Benedict rosary built for daily prayer and lasting devotion. The 6mm hematite beads give this rosary a substantial, grounded feel in the hand — each decade marked with St. Benedict Our Father beads that keep the devotion rooted in Benedictine spirituality. The oxidized silver crucifix and center piece add a classic, reverent finish that suits men and women alike. If you are looking for a durable, affordable rosary from a trusted catholic religious goods store, this is a rosary worth praying.
St. Benedict is one of the most venerated saints in the Western Church, recognized as the patron of Europe and the father of Western monasticism. The St. Benedict medal — featured on the Our Father beads of this rosary — carries a rich tradition of spiritual protection dating back centuries. The letters on the medal encode the prayer Vade retro Satana ("Begone, Satan"), and the medal has been formally blessed and promoted by the Church as a powerful sacramental. Pope Pius IX granted a special indulgence attached to the St. Benedict medal in 1880, and the devotion has remained a cornerstone of Catholic sacramental life ever since. Praying the Rosary with St. Benedict beads unites two of the Church's most beloved traditions — the Marian devotion of the Rosary and the Benedictine charism of ora et labora, pray and work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the beads on this rosary made of?
The Hail Mary beads are 6mm hematite, a natural mineral with a smooth, dark metallic finish that feels substantial in the hand during prayer. The Our Father beads are St. Benedict-engraved beads with an oxidized silver finish, and the crucifix and center piece are also silver oxidized metal.
Is this a good rosary to buy from a catholic religious goods store?
Yes, this 6mm hematite St. Benedict rosary is one of the most popular affordable catholic devotional items we carry. It combines durable hematite beads with a classically finished silver ox crucifix and St. Benedict center, making it a well-rounded rosary suitable for everyday prayer at a price that makes it accessible for parishes, families, and individuals alike.
What is the significance of the St. Benedict beads on this rosary?
The St. Benedict Our Father beads reference the St. Benedict medal, one of the most widely used sacramentals in the Catholic Church. The medal bears the initials of a Latin prayer of exorcism, Vade retro Satana, and has been associated with spiritual protection for centuries. Pope Pius IX granted a special indulgence connected to the medal in 1880, and St. Benedict himself is venerated as the patron of Europe and the father of Western monasticism. Praying the Rosary on beads that honor St. Benedict unites Marian devotion with the Benedictine tradition of contemplative prayer.
Is this rosary a good gift for Confirmation or First Communion?
Yes, this St. Benedict hematite rosary is an excellent gift for Confirmation, First Communion, RCIA completion, or a Catholic birthday. It arrives in a gift box ready to present, so no additional wrapping is needed. The St. Benedict theme makes it especially meaningful for anyone drawn to Benedictine spirituality or seeking a sacramental of protection.
Can a priest bless this rosary, and how should I care for the hematite beads?
Yes, any Catholic priest can bless this rosary, which is encouraged as a way to make it an official sacramental for personal use. Hematite beads are durable but can chip if dropped on hard surfaces, so handle with care. Wipe the beads with a soft dry cloth to maintain their finish, and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to preserve the oxidized silver hardware.
Does this rosary come in a gift box, and how long does shipping take?
Yes, this hematite St. Benedict rosary arrives in a gift box, ready to present for any occasion. Orders typically ship within 1 to 2 business days, and free shipping applies to all U.S. orders over $40. For questions about your order, call 1-800-741-7754 or email sales@rosarycard.net.
