St. Benedict Medal Sterling Silver Ring A meaningful sterling silver ring featuring a continuous series of St. Benedict Medals around the band. Each medallion is rendered with deeply oxidized details, allowing the Cross and its ancient Latin inscriptions to stand out against the polished silver. At the heart of the St. Benedict Medal is the Cross of Christ. It is not worn as a magical charm, but as a visible expression of faith and a continual prayer for strength, peace, and protection from temptation and evil. The letters engraved upon the medal contain a powerful Christian prayer: C.S.S.M.L.Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux“May the Holy Cross be my light.” N.D.S.M.D.Non Draco Sit Mihi Dux“Let not the dragon be my guide.” The letters C.S.P.B. placed around the Cross mean: Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti“The Cross of the Holy Father Benedict.” Around the outer edge is an ancient prayer rejecting Satan and everything that leads the soul away from God: V.R.S.N.S.M.V.Vade Retro Satana; Nunquam Suade Mihi Vana“Begone, Satan. Never tempt me with your vanities.” S.M.Q.L.I.V.B.Sunt Mala Quae Libas; Ipse Venena Bibas“What you offer is evil. Drink the poison yourself.” Theologically, the medal proclaims a clear choice: the Cross of Christ is our light, and evil will not be our guide. Its meaning is rooted in trust in God, resistance to temptation, and the call to follow Christ faithfully. The medal also invokes the intercession of St. Benedict, whose life was marked by prayer, spiritual discipline, and profound devotion to the Cross. Any spiritual protection associated with the medal comes not from the metal itself, but from Christ, the prayer of the Church, and the faith with which it is worn. Repeated around the entire band, the St. Benedict Medal becomes a continuous reminder to remain steadfast in faith and to place every part of life under the light of the Cross.
