This is the typical Saint Benedict medal used, not just by Catholics, but is identified as a Christian sacramental medal used by Roman Catholics, Methodists, Lutherans and other Christian religions. This particular design is called a Jubilee medal that originated in Germany. The Saint Benedict medal may be used in various ways; carried on your person, worn on a necklace, placed in a vehicle or in a home.
The front of the Saint Benedict medal contains a cross, highlighted by four quadrants and encircled by a ring with the letters: V R S N S M V – S M Q L I V B. These letters refer to the phrase: Vade retro Satana, Numquam suade mihi vana, Sunt mala quae libas, Ipse venena bibas that translate to ‘Begone Satan! Never tempt me with your vanities! What you offer me is evil. Drink the poison yourself!'
The word PAX means peace. On the back of the medal, Saint Benedict is holding a cross which is the Christian symbol of salvation. The outer ring has the word that translate to: ‘May we be strengthened by his presence in the hour of our death.'
The nylon lanyard is easy to hang from the root of your car's rearview mirror and the badge hangs down naturally. Pray for a smooth and safe trip.
