Why Bury Exorcised St. Benedict and Miraculous Medals Around Your Home?
In a world increasingly clouded by spiritual confusion, occult influences, and moral compromise, Catholic families are called to take bold, faith-filled steps to safeguard their homes. One powerful yet often overlooked tradition is the burial of exorcised sacramentals—particularly the St. Benedict Medal and the Miraculous Medal—around the property line of one’s home.
When these holy medals are blessed using the Church’s traditional Roman Ritual, they become potent spiritual weapons—not magical charms, but sacred tools the Church recognizes as effective against the forces of evil when used with faith and reverence.
Not Superstition—But Sacred Action
Some may question whether burying blessed items in the ground seems like superstition. But this practice has deep roots in Catholic tradition and theology. It's a concrete way of consecrating the land to God, claiming it for Christ, and placing it under the protection of Our Lady and the saints. For homes built on land with a questionable past—where sins such as occult activity, abortions, or bloodshed may have occurred—this spiritual act becomes even more meaningful.
As Scripture reminds us:
“Do not give place to the devil.” — Ephesians 4:27
7 Spiritual Reasons to Bury Exorcised Medals Around Your Property
1. A Barrier Against Demonic Influence
The St. Benedict Medal, when exorcised and used in faith, repels diabolical attacks and creates a spiritual boundary that evil cannot easily cross. Like holy water, it is a visible sign of the power of Christ.
2. A Blessing Upon the Land
Just as ancient peoples consecrated land for dark purposes, Christians are called to reclaim territory for God's Kingdom. Burying exorcised medals is a way of dedicating the ground to the Lord, inviting His blessing upon your home and family.
3. Protection Through the Saints
The Miraculous Medal draws down graces through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, while the St. Benedict Medal calls on a saint long known as a protector against evil. Together, they invoke heavenly help to guard your household.
4. Increased Spiritual Peace
Many families report that after placing these medals around their homes, tension lessens, spiritual disturbances cease, and a deeper peace settles over the household. This isn’t coincidence—it’s grace at work.
5. Defense Against Witchcraft and Curses
The Church teaches that sacramentals used with faith can frustrate the intentions of those who work evil through spells, hexes, or curses. These medals, when properly blessed, serve as a spiritual shield.
6. A Mark of Consecration
Burying exorcised medals is a declaration that your home belongs to Jesus and Mary. It is a visible (yet hidden) act of spiritual consecration that speaks volumes in the supernatural realm.
7. A Call to Ongoing Faith
This act becomes a reminder to pray daily, remain close to the Sacraments, and live in a state of grace. It encourages vigilance and helps the family remain rooted in their Catholic faith.
A Consecrated Home Invites Healing and Conversion
When you bury these medals and consecrate your property, you are not performing a one-time ritual. You are inviting God to dwell within your home, your relationships, and your daily life. And when Christ is welcomed, the hidden wounds of family life—anger, impurity, resentment, addiction—begin to lose their grip.
Consecrated homes often become places where the Holy Eucharist is honored, the Rosary is prayed, and conversion of heart begins to take root. This is the quiet miracle of grace at work.
How to Bury the Medals: A Guide and Prayer
If possible, ask a traditional Catholic priest to bless the medals using the old Roman Ritual of exorcism and blessing. Then, either he—or the head of the household in a state of grace—can bury one St. Benedict Medal and one Miraculous Medal at each of the four corners of the property.
Here is a prayerful way to do it:
