This crucifix takes its name from the special indulgences attached to it by Pope Pius X. Here are the granted pardons:
- Whoever carries on his person the Pardon Crucifix, may thereby gain an indulgence.
- For devoutly kissing the Crucifix, an indulgence is gained.
- Whoever says one of the following invocations before this crucifix may gain each time an indulgence: "Our Father who art in heaven, forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." "I beg the Blessed Virgin Mary to pray to the Lord our God for me."
- Whoever, habitually devout to this Crucifix, will fulfill the necessary conditions of Confession and Holy Communion may gain a Plenary Indulgence on the following feasts: On the feasts of the Five Wounds of our Lord, the Invention of the Holy Cross, the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, the Immaculate Conception, and the Seven Sorrows (Dolors) of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
- Whoever, at the moment of death, fortified with the Sacraments of the Church, or contrite of heart, in the supposition of being unable to receive them, will kiss this Crucifix and ask pardon of God for his sins, and pardon his neighbor, will gain a Plenary Indulgence.
This powerful sacramental can overthrow the devil and his attempts to steal soulsthat's why he hates it! When coupled with the Rosary, this crucifix is perfectly lethal to him and his wiles. The St. Benedict WARRIOR Rosary combines these sacramentals. Crafted from tough, manly gunmetal and styled after rosaries carried by soldiers in World War I, this rosary is finished with a Marian medal, a St. Benedict medal, and the Pardon Crucifix. A perfect gift for menor a woman who wants an extra-sturdy rosary.
