Orgin & History
St. Benedict, blessed by God both in grace and in name, Patriarch of Western Monasticism, and founder of the Order which bears his name, was born in Nursia, Italy, in 480, and died in 547. As the Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ was the chief object of devotion among the first Christians, so it was also with St. Benedict. It was this devotion to the cross, the sign of our redemption, that gave rise to the Medal of St. Benedict; for devotion to the Medal of St. Benedict is, above all, devotion to the sign of our salvation. The Saint often employed the sign of the Cross to work miracles and to overcome the devil and his temptations. Hence, from the earliest centuries after his death, he is represented bearing the Cross of Christ and the Holy Rule.
The meaning of the letters:
(C S P B) Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti = The Cross of the Holy Father Benedicti
(C S S M L) Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux Non Draco Sit Mihi Dux = The Holy Cross be my Light and not the dragon be my guide.
(S M Q L I V B) Sunt Mala Quae Libas Ipse Venana Bibas = Evil is the cup thou offesrest! Drink thou thine own poison!
(V R S N S M V) Vade Retro Satana Numquam Suade Mihi Vana = Be gone Satan! Suggest not vain things to me!
Pax = Peace!
