Description from the seller
The Exorcist’s Armor – Catholic Knight of the Saint Benedict Medal – Repels Malefic Forces.
A ring with golden finishes, crowned by a circular plate displaying the reverse of the Saint Benedict medal and its sacred abbreviations, flanked by Latin cross on its sides. An exorcism emblem worn to ward off black magic and secure your living space.
In 1742, Pope Benedict XIV issued a historic decree officially integrating the Saint Benedict medal among the Church’s major sacramentals. This papal recognition follows the countless testimonies of deliverance recorded since the Middle Ages, where the mere presence of this seal safeguarded believers from epidemics, poisons, and curses. In the grand liturgical exorcism rites authorized by the Vatican, priests use this sacred cross as an instrument of authority to drive away malevolent presences and bless desecrated places. The geometry of the Latin letters engraved on the badge forms a fighting prayer: each initial sums up an oath of abjuration and a declaration of faith. This emblem of devotion embodies the triumph of divine light over chaos, offering the wearer a liturgical shield proven through centuries of spiritual tradition.
Slipping this blessing insignia onto your finger raises the supreme shield of pontifical exorcism at the heart of your life. The power of the inscribed prayers strikes down curses, shatters attacks from the unseen, and compels discordant forces to flee your presence. This imperial sacramental radically purifies your environment, erecting an impassable celestial guard around your home. It endows your mind with martial authority to defeat adversity and seal the definitive victory of light over your trials.

History & Symbolism:
The Oraison de la Croix (C.S.S.M.L. - N.D.S.M.D.)
Inscribed at the heart of the cross, the initials C S S M L and N D S M D form the verses “Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux / Non Draco Sit Mihi Dux” (May the Holy Cross be my light / Let not the Dragon be my guide). This spiritual affirmation places your will under divine protection, imparting mental clarity to guide your choices toward truth.
The Decree of Abjuration (V.R.S.N.S.M.V. - S.M.Q.L.I.V.B.)
Graved on the outer crown, the acronyms V R S N S M V and S M Q L I V B summarize the invocations of the great exorcism ritual: “Vade Retro Satana... / Sunt Mala Quae Libas... ” (Get thee behind me, Satan / Drink thou your own poison). These exorcism formulas urge the dark forces to retreat, dissolving curses and purging your environment of polluted energies.
The Motto of Peace and the Lateral Crosses (PAX and C.S.P.B.)
The word PAX (Peace), proclaimed at the top of the badge, celebrates the restoration of sacred order. Associated with the letters C S P B (Cross of the Holy Father Benedict) and with the fleur-de-lis crosses sculpted on the sides, this symbol reaffirms the alliance with the monks of Monte Cassino. It defines a zone of absolute tranquility around you, promoting the stability of your home.
