The medal of St. Benedict is a very powerful sacramental
with exorcizing properties; the exorcism is written
right on it. Measures a generous size of 2" round and
is in excellent condition.
On the vertical bar of the cross itself are found the
letters: C.S.S.M.L., and on the horizontal bar of the
cross: N.D.S.M.D. They signify: Crux Sacra Sit Mihi
Lux, Non Craco Sit Mihi Dux "May the holy Cross be my
light. Let not the dragon be my guide." Round the margin
of the Medal, beginning at the right hand on top, are
the following letters: V.R.S.N.S.M.V.-- S.M.Q.L.I.V.B
They stand for the verses:Vade Retro, Satana! Nunqum
Suade Mihi Vana. Sunt Mala Quae Libas; Ipse Venena Bibas.
"Begone, Satan! Suggest not vain things to me. Evil
is the cup thou offerest; Drink thou thine own poison."
In most instances, the medal produces a tranquilizing
effect when worn.
Some individuals experience the opposite agitation or
a burning sensation. This medal was believed to be used
in an actual excorcism in the late 1940's
