The Saint Benedict medal is known for its powerful symbolism of protection against evil.
"Because He has clung to Me, I will deliver him and protect him".
(Psalm 91:14)
Spiritual Significance
This Rosary serves as both a tool for meditating on the Mysteries of the Rosary and a strong sacramental for protection against evil, temptation, and spiritual warfare. St. Benedict is a patron of exorcists, and the medal is known as one of the most powerful sacramentals for warding off demonic influence. It is not magical but invokes God's grace through the Church's blessing and the saint's intercession.
The St. Benedict Medal prominently features the powerful exorcistic formula beginning with “Vade retro Satana” (“Begone Satan!” or “Step back, Satan!”).
Full Inscription and Meaning:
Around the outer rim are the letters:
V R S N S M V — S M Q L I V B
These stand for the Latin prayer:
> Vade retro Satana!
> Nunquam suade mihi vana!
> Sunt mala quae libas.
> Ipse venena bibas!
English Translation:
- Begone Satan!
- Never tempt me with your vanities!
- What you offer me is evil.
- Drink the poison yourself!
This is a strong formula of exorcism and spiritual protection, dating back to at least the 15th century and strongly associated with the Benedictine tradition.
Other Elements on the Reverse Side
- Large letters on the cross itself:
- C S S M L (vertical bar) — Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux (“May the Holy Cross be my light”)
- N D S M D (horizontal bar) — Non Draco Sit Mihi Dux (“Let not the dragon be my guide/leader”)
- C S P B — Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti (“The Cross of our Holy Father Benedict”) — usually at the four quadrants or arms of the cross.
- PAX (“Peace”) — at the very top, the motto of the Benedictine Order.
This inscription makes the medal one of the most potent sacramentals in the Church for protection against evil, temptation, and demonic influence. Many people pray the full “Vade retro Satana” prayer when holding or blessing the medal. It is especially powerful when combined with the Rosary, as in the St. Benedict Rosary.
