The St. Benedict medal — featured on the center piece of this rosary — carries a rich tradition of exorcistic blessing and spiritual protection. The letters on the medal correspond to a Latin prayer of exorcism: \"Vade retro Satana\" (\"Begone, Satan\"), and the medal has been formally blessed and approved for use as a sacramental by the Church since the 17th century. Praying the Rosary with a St. Benedict rosary unites two of the most powerful Catholic devotions: Marian intercession and Benedictine spiritual warfare. Pope Pius IX granted a special indulgence to those who devoutly use the St. Benedict medal in 1880, underscoring its enduring place in Catholic devotional life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeads:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black wood beads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrucifix:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver oxidized crucifix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver oxidized St. Benedict center medal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional linked rosary construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes plastic gift box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e McVan Inc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e P559R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 735365508242\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis St. Benedict rosary is an ideal gift for Confirmation, First Communion, RCIA completion, or a Catholic birthday.
