The power of the sign of the Holy Cross is so great and so terrible to Satan that it is for him an inaccessible shield, behind which we may feel safe and secure. The approval of the Catholic Church in Rome in 1857 is proof that, by using this medal and praying through Saint Benedict’s intercession, one may obtain many graces from God.
The Medal of Saint Benedict is effective in the following cases:
• destroys superstitions and diabolical influences
• drives away sorcerers and heals animals afflicted by plague
• defends a man against the devil
• converts sinners, often on the deathbed
• destroys the power of poison and drives away pestilence
• restores health, especially to those who suffer from gallstones, side pain, or spitting of blood
• grants mothers a safe childbirth
• protects against lightning and storms
• protects against impure temptations
An effective way to use the Medal of Saint Benedict:
• the medal should be worn around the neck
• in case of epidemics or contagious diseases, it is hung on the walls or doors of the house
• during the construction of houses, churches, etc., the medal is built into the foundations
• against vermin in fields, gardens, and orchards: the medal is buried in the ground
• in households where there is a well, a blessed medal is placed in the well
• it is thrown into water; the water, when drunk, gives health to people and animals, and also helps in other illnesses
• in cases of digestive disorders, ailments of the liver or stomach, or lack of appetite, one should drink a glass of unboiled water, after first immersing the medal in it for a few moments, while reciting with living faith the following prayer:
Holy Father Benedict, powerful wonderworker and merciful protector of those in need, we humbly beseech thee, intercede for us before God and obtain for us the grace … (here name the grace for which we ask), upon which our hearts are greatly set. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
If someone should forget the formula at some moment, he has two ways of protecting himself:
• say “Vade retro satana!” (i.e. “Begone, Satan!”) and make the sign of the Holy Cross
• say “Saint Benedict, defend me!” and make the sign of the Holy Cross
The only true Catholic Medal of Saint Benedict from 1664
The upper side of the Medal of Saint Benedict (obverse):
• presents Saint Benedict, the founder of the Benedictines, holding the Cross in his right hand, and in his left the book of the Holy Rule
• on the left side of the Saint lies the miter of the abbot of the Benedictine order, the equivalent of an episcopal miter
• on the right side a crow with folded wings, humbly carrying bread in its beak
• around the figure of the Saint there is the inscription: Crux Sancti Patris Benedict (Cross of Saint Father Benedict).
The lower side of the Medal of Saint Benedict (reverse):
• at the very top there are the letters IHS, which mean: Iesus Hristus Salvator (Jesus Christ the Saviour)
• in the center is the original Cross of Saint Benedict (without any oddities)
• in the four fields formed by the arms of the Cross there are the letters: CSPB, which mean: Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti (Cross of Saint Father Benedict)
• on the vertical beam of the Cross, from top to bottom: CSSML, which means Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux (May the Holy Cross be my light)
• on the horizontal beam of the Cross: NDSMD, which means Non Draco Sit Mihi Dux (Let not the devil/dragon be my guide)
• on the edge of the medal there is an inscription; the letters to the right: VRSNSMV-SMQLIVB, which mean: Vade retro Satana, Numquam Suade Mihi Vana – Sunt Mala Quae Libas, Ipse Venena Bibas (Begone, Satan, never suggest vain things to me; evil are the things thou offerest, drink thou thy own poison)
An example of a false medal created by enemies of the Catholic Church
Upper side of the medal (obverse):
• Saint Benedict was placed against the background of a Masonic altar! (the characteristic two columns)
• the main inscription has been changed to: Eius in obitu nostro praesentia muniamur (May His presence defend us at the hour of death), thus pushing the name of Saint Benedict into the background of the medal (perhaps it is not he who is supposed to defend us?)
• on the left side there is a cracked cup from which a serpent crawls out, placed there under the pretext of the event in which Saint Benedict recognized the poison given him by his enemies in Vicovaro (the serpent as a symbol of Satan (perhaps his presence is meant to “protect us at the hour of death”?!); the serpent on a Catholic medal should have only one place: under Mary’s foot with its head crushed)
• on the right side the bird has wings spread and “walks beside the bread”; it is no longer the “humble” raven, but a Masonic symbol of the phoenix, which proudly struts beside the Body of the Lord
Lower side of the medal (reverse):
• IHS was replaced by the word PAX, which means peace; thus Jesus Christ Himself was cast out of the medal in the name of peace (but with whom? surely with Satan)
• the character of the Cross was changed into an occult one: the Cross is undercut at its base (as though gnawed by a larva), and the indentations at the ends signify the fragility of the wood from which it is made
• the letters CSPB, enclosed in circles, become separate and no longer form a sentence
• other mysterious signs at the ends of the cross and beside the word PAX
In the past, all symbols introduced on Catholic medals always had their Catholic justification.
On the other hand, the authors of this new medal do not explain at all the newly introduced symbols or the motives for the changes that were made. The only statement is that it is a medal which “combines old with new and is an artistic program”.
The explanation of this is one and obvious: the enemy of the Catholic Church, by altering this miraculous medal, wishes to deprive Catholics of one of the greatest protections against Satan and his snares.
Because in recent times even the members of the Vatican II Antichurch themselves have had many fears and pangs of conscience concerning the false medals of Saint Benedict, the Vatican II sect under the leadership of Bergoglio, using “monks” who usurp to themselves the name “Benedictines”, keeps striking newer and newer designs of the medal, which continue, in one degree or another, to differ from the holy original.
The hallmark of the Vatican II Antichurch is the mixing of the One Holy Truth with satanic falsehood, so as, by trial and compromise, to destroy all that is holy.
From the example of the medal itself one may see with what great ferocity and hatred the antichrist and those who serve him operate, doing everything possible to drive people away from all sources of grace. And just as he has driven almost the whole world away from the One True Catholic Holy Mass, so also he seeks to drive them away from other sources of grace that might help men attain salvation.
