I love the Saint Benedict Medal. I wear one around my neck and keep one on my Rosary. The medal is a sacramental recalling the the power of Christ and his Saint Benedict against the wiles of Satan. As you may know, the medal contains a number of exorcisms. Here they are.

The arms of the Saint Benedict Cross contain the initials of an exorcism rhyme: C S S M L – N D S M D

In the corners of the Cross are the letters C S P B: Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti (“Cross of Holy Father Benedict”).

Above the Cross is the word Pax (“Peace”), the Benedictine motto.

Surrounding the circumference of the medal are the initials to the words of another rhyming Latin exorcism: V R S N S M V – S M Q L I V B
