Hi RnMomof-The medal is a living Prayer.I believe dear sister you are splitting Hairs. We know it's from God. He knows we know it is from him. You limit God with Basic only A+B=C formula words. The Medal has Prayers written on it.

Which declares this:

CRUX SACRA SIT MIHI LUX, May the Holy Cross be a light unto me,

NON DRACO SIT MIHI DUX. And may the Dragon never be my guide.

crucifix medal of st benedictThe four large letters at the corners of the Cross, C S P B, stand for CRUX SANCTI PATRIS BENEDICTI: The Cross of the Holy Father Benedict.

We are not through yet. In addition to the "Pax" ("peace") motto at the top, we find the following letters in a circle around the margin of this side: V.R.S.N.S.M.V.:

S.M.Q.L.I.V.B. It almost looks masonic; except, of course, the Benedictines are quite willing to tell you what the letters stand for, and they are enough to make any secret society get the shakes:

Jubilee Medal of Saint Benedict St. Benedict Jubilee Medal

This more petite version sacrifices no detail, and of course it shares the same history as the larger medal.

VADE RETRO SATANA; NUNQUAM SUADE MIHI VANA.

Get behind me, Satan; Never suggest vain thoughts to me.

SUNT MALA QUAE LIBAS;

The cup you offer is evil; IPSE VENENA BIBAS!

Drink the poison yourself!

I believe it is blessed by God.

Freeper Regards!

I forgot with our theology debates. Happy NEW YEAR IN Christ!!

Who OR WHAT got the glory for this ‘healing”? It surely was not God as is always the case with catholics it is a saint or a relic or mary..never do I read praise to God.. and He tells us “I will not SHARE my glory with another”

Read the article John and please post the part that glorifies God and not a piece of metal ...
