St. Benedict metal medal.
This medal is known for its powerful protection against evil by virtue of St. Benedict's promise to St. Gertrude.
The medal shows two images: on one side, the image of St. Benedict with a crucifix in his right hand, and on the other, the rule of the Benedictine order. Around the medal is the inscription "EIUS IN OBITU NOSTRO PRESENTIA MUNIAMUR" (we can be protected by His presence at the time of our death).
On the other side is a cross with symbolic letters:
- C.S.P.B.Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti, The cross of the Father
- C.S.S.M.L.Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux, The cross will be my light
- N.D.S.M.D.Non Drago Sit Mihi Dux, The devil shall not be my head and my lord
- V.R.S.Vade Retro, Satan! Satan, go away!
- N.S.M.V.Numquam Suade Mihi Vana, Don't lure me with vanity
- S.M.Q.L.Sunt Mala Quae Libas, You are evil
- I.V.B. Ipse Venena Bibas, Thou shalt drink thy poison.
It is also available in a gold-plated version.
It comes with its own packaging and an explanation booklet.
