Fuel is not included. 

The St. Benedict medal is a Catholic sacramental associated with protection against evil, resistance to temptation, and a holy death. Its central message is trust in Christ’s Cross, with St. Benedict’s intercession.

When blessed, it serves as a sacred sign that draws us toward God through the Church’s prayer. Its power comes from God; wearing it does not automatically guarantee protection. That distinction follows the Catechism’s teaching on sacramentals and superstition (CCC 1670, 2111).

The side showing St. Benedict

On the familiar design, Benedict holds a cross and his Rule, representing faith in Christ and a life ordered toward God. Beside him are a broken cup and a raven with bread. These recall accounts of his deliverance from poisoned wine and poisoned bread. The inscription around him asks that his presence strengthen us at the hour of death.

The side showing the cross

The letters are initials of Latin prayers:

The dragon represents Satan.

Around the edge is a further prayer:

Vade retro Satana! Nunquam suade mihi vana! Sunt mala quae libas. Ipse venena bibas!

Its meaning is: Begone, Satan; do not tempt me with empty things. What you offer is evil; drink your own poison.At the top, PAX means peace. The firm rejection of evil serves the goal of living in Christ’s peace.

You can have the medal blessed by a priest or deacon, then wear it, attach it to your rosary, or keep it in your home. A fitting way to use it is to pray its words consciously when tempted: “May the holy Cross be my light.” The medal makes that commitment tangible in daily life.
