How the papal blessing works

The St. Benedict medal

One of the oldest Catholic sacramentals, worn for protection against evil. The letters are the initials of Latin prayers: on the cross, Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux (May the holy cross be my light); around the edge, Vade Retro Satana (Begone, Satan).

St. Benedict High Quality 3" (7.5 cm) DARK WOOD Crucifix

A very special cross, hand made in Italy by skilled craftsmen. Perfect as a pectoral cross.

A big St. Benedict crucifix with great detail. The color is DARKEN WOOD & silver-color metal.. Of course there is also the St. Benedict medal in the front and in the back of the crucifix. It's a fantastic cross with high quality details.

originally blessed by Pope Francis, it is now also blessed by Pope Leo XIV during public audience in St Peter’s Square.

The Saint Benedict Medal is a Catholic sacramental medal containing symbols and text related to the life of Saint Benedict of Nursia.

The medal is one of the oldest and most honored medals used by Catholics and due to the belief in its power against evil is also known as the "devil-chasing medal". As early as the 11th century, it may have initially had the form of Saint Benedict's cross, and was used by pope Leo IX.

The reverse side of the medal carries the Vade retro satana ("Step back, Satan") formula which has been used by Catholics to ward off evil since the 15th century. Sometimes carried as part of the rosary, it is also found individually.

In widespread use after its formal approval by pope Benedict XIV in the 18th century, the medal is used by Catholics to ward off spiritual and physical dangers, especially those related to evil, poison, and temptation.
