This Beautiful and Large Saint Medal is made of Silver Tone Oxidized Metal and measure 2-1/2-inches tall and 2-1/4-inches across. St. Benedict is the Patron Saint of Monks and Sufferers of a poisoned Mind, Body or Soul. Used for protection against evil. Beautiful!!The St. Benedict medal is rich in meaning. The front contains an image of St. Benedict holding a cross and his famous monastic rule. On his left and right are words meaning, “The cross of our holy father, St. Benedict.” The outer edge contains the words in Latin, “May we at our death be fortified by his presence.”The back of the medal is even more interesting. It contains a series of initials that stand for a Latin exorcism prayer, as well as a prayer for guidance.Emblazoned on the prominently placed cross are the letters C S S M L – N D S M D, which stand for the Latin prayer:Crux sacra sit mihi lux!Nunquam draco sit mihi dux!Translated, it means:The Holy Cross be my light;Let not the dragon be my guide.Surrounding the outer rim of the back are the letters V R S N S M V – S M Q L I V B. These letters stand for an exorcism prayer based on an incident from St. Benedict’s life.After St. Benedict had been a hermit for three years, and his reputation for holiness had spread far and wide, he was asked by a group of monks to be their abbot. St. Benedict agreed, but some rebellious monks in the community really disliked this idea, and they decided to kill St. Benedict by poisoning his bread and wine. As St. Benedict made the sign of the cross over his food, as was his custom, he immediately knew that they had been poisoned. He threw the wine on the ground, saying:Vade retro Satana!Nunquam suade mihi vana!Sunt mala quae libas.Ipse venena bibas!This means:Begone, Satan,Do not suggest to me thy vanities!Evil are the things thou offerest,Drink thou thy own poison!It is this prayer that is represented by the initials surrounding the back of the medal.
