Although it is beautiful and captivating, the Saint Benedict medal is not an ornamental object. Like the Miraculous Virgin Mary medal or the Crucifix medal, this sacramental recognized by the Catholic Church is a powerful instrument of deliverance and deliverance. In this regard, it is also the most popular medal after the Miraculous medal. And if you have not yet acquired it, it may be time to do so. But first, let's discover the extraordinary assets of this magnificent medal with unsuspected powers.

The Saint Benedict medal: a jewel like no other

The Saint Benedict medal is a very popular Christian jewel within the Catholic community. It is often found in the form of a pendant hanging around the neck or on a rosary. It is also sometimes found integrated into rings or bracelets.

Anyway, if she does a great job christian jewel, it is above all a very effective object to counter the attacks of Satan and those of his legions. It therefore accompanies prayers of deliverance and exorcism. Moreover, it is enough to take a look at the symbols engraved on its faces to understand that it is not a medal like the others.

Indeed, on both the obverse and reverse of the medal, there are so many letters, words, images and symbols that are found on practically no other sacramental of the Catholic Church. However, even if the inscriptions engraved on it appear as meaningless hieroglyphics, no words can describe all the protective power that this sacramental can give off. Mystery, you said? Might as well say it.

Besides, didn't this medal remain mysterious for several decades? It was not until 1647 that a manuscript from 1415 was found that allowed the symbols engraved on this medal to be deciphered. The discovery of this manuscript was made in the Metten Abbey in Bavaria. But before going any further, who is Saint Benedict?

Who is Saint Benedict?

Considered the founder of Western monasticism, Saint Benedict of Nursia or Saint Benedict was a very exemplary Italian saint and monk who lived in the 6th century. He had a tremendous impact on Christianity and is a true model of spiritual perfection, holiness, and service to others. He is remembered for his deep love for God and his insatiable quest for holiness.

Saint Benedict is best known for performing extraordinary miracles and for waging victorious battles against evil. Proclaimed patron saint of the whole of Europe in October 1964 and celebrated on July 11 each year, he is at the origin of the order of Benedictine monks and the Rule of Saint Benedict which governs monastic life. It is therefore to him that the world owes the existence of monks within the church.

The life of Saint Benedict was punctuated by impressive miracles and great victories against Satan and his legions. Thus, even if it is very beautiful with versions of various sizes and in silver metal, gold plated, gold, etc., the Saint Benedict medal is considered a powerful protection and an effective aid in spiritual battles and in exorcism. It is used for the reasons why we pray to Saint Benedict and more.

Meaning of the symbols and images on the obverse of the Saint Benedict medal

On the obverse of the medal, we see the effigy of Saint Benedict in the center, covered with a hood and holding a cross in his right hand. This cross represents the saving power of Jesus Christ.In the other hand he is seen holding an open book containing the holy rule of the order of Saint Benedict.

To the saint's right is a broken cup that, according to the story, had been poisoned by rebel monks, and which broke when St. Benedict made the sign of the cross on it as he drank it. To his left is a raven about to fly away, holding in its beak a loaf of bread, also poisoned by the same rebel monks who had conspired to kill St. Benedict. Both symbols recall the miracles of St. Benedict.

On either side of the saint's effigy is inscribed "Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti", which means the cross of the Holy Father Benedict. Around the edge of the face is the inscription "May we be strengthened by his presence in our death". Under the saint's feet are the words EX SM CASINO MDCCCLXX which means "From the sacred Monte Cassino, 1880".

Meaning of the symbols and images on the reverse of the Saint Benedict medal

On the reverse of the medal, an imposing cross is displayed, having on each of its four sides the letters CSPB, which are the initials of the inscription "Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti". Inside the cross, we see two inscriptions, one engraved on the vertical beam of the cross and the other on the horizontal beam:

  • Vertically, we read CSSML (Crux Sácra Sit Mihi Lux) which means “may the holy Cross be my light”;
  • Horizontally, we read NDSMD (Non Dráco Sit Mihi Dux), which means “let the dragon not be my guide”;

Still on the reverse, we see the initials of an exorcism prayer which reads as follows:

  • VRS (Vade Retro Satàna), i.e. Back Satan;
  • NSMV (Non Suàde Mihi Vàna, or Do not come to me advising me of your vanities;
  • SMQL (Sunt Màla Quae Libas), or The drink you pour is evil;
  • IVB (Ipse Venéna Bibas), or drink your poisons yourself;
  • Pax: Peace.

The exorcism prayer inscribed on the Saint Benedict medal therefore says this: “Let the Holy Cross be my light. Let the dragon not be my guide. Get behind me Satan. Do not come to me advising me of your vanities. The drink you pour is evil. Drink your poisons yourself. Peace.”

What are the powers of the Saint Benedict medal?

His unwavering devotion to God, holiness and the fight against evil are said to have allowed Saint Benedict to receive exceptional spiritual gifts through which he was able to perform miracles. Apart from the miracle of the poisoned glass and that of the poisoned bread carried away by a raven, he also prayed over a stone that, initially impossible for the other monks to move, eventually became lighter and was easily moved.

A power of deliverance and protection against the work of Satan and his demons

Anyone who takes the time to decipher the words, letters, images and symbols that the Saint Benedict medal bears understands directly that it is a true spiritual treasure. Each word, each image has a particular spiritual meaning. Engraved all around the medal, these symbols serve to ward off evil.

It keeps away from temptations and illusions projected by the devil on the Catholic believer in order to make him lose his holiness. Anyone who wants to be from habits of serious sins (drug use, esotericism and other obscure spiritual practices, impure sexuality, etc.) can also wear the medal of Saint Benedict.

How to use the Saint Benedict medal?

The Saint Benedict medal is a super original gift idea for religious events (baptism, communion, birthday, birth, etc.) and also an excellent gift idea to offer to people who are afflicted or facing spiritual struggles.

It can be worn as a jewel or placed at home in a strategic location to prevent the entry of demons and negative energies. But to benefit from the virtues contained in this medal, it must first be blessed by a priest.

This sacramental religious jewel is used in a very simple way. You have to place it in front of you on a white cloth and fix it so that the image of the medal is engraved in your mind. From then on, you can begin the ritual by addressing a prayer to God and asking for the benevolence of Saint Benedict. Here is an example of a prayer to make to release the power of the medal on you and those around you.

Dear St. Benedict, I thank God for filling you with His grace to love Him above all else and to establish a monastic rule that has helped so many of His children live full and holy lives.Through the cross of Jesus Christ, I ask you to intercede that God may protect me, my loved ones, my home, my possessions, my property, and my workplace today and always through your holy blessing, that we may never be separated from Jesus, Mary, and the company of all the blessed. Through your intercession, may we be delivered from temptation, spiritual oppression, physical ailments, and sickness. Protect us from drug and alcohol abuse, impurity and immorality, reprehensible companions, and negative attitudes. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Obviously, the power of this medal is not in the person of Saint Benedict, but rather in faith in Jesus Christ. Indeed, it is at the mention of the name of Jesus Christ that Satan flees. Christ has conquered death, sin and Satan and his legions. It is therefore the efficacy of the cross and the name of Jesus Christ that are revealed through this sacramental.

During his lifetime, St. Benedict always turned to the cross of Christ in all difficult situations. We should do the same with the St. Benedict Medal. It allows us to benefit from the power of deliverance that Jesus Christ manifested in the life and ministry of St. Benedict. So choose your medal today and experience its power.
