Hi angel on Earth. I tried to commit suicide on Friday. As I went to complete it I was distracted by the Saint Benedict medal that was on my desk. I never knew what it meant and for some reason I had to know in the moment so I went on a deep dive googling it and eventually fell asleep before I got around to committing the act. I’d like to think that was divine intervention of some sort. It’s Sunday now. I still want to do it but now it’s in passing waves. Can I receive a prayer? I know that I have the strength to keep going but I am so tired and sad and hopeless and lonely and don’t really want to anymore. I’ve been holding on for so long but it only gets worse. Idk what lesson I’m supposed to be learning from all the trials and tribulations. Thank you for your work. Gods love flows through you and unite many. Have a blessed day
Visit these links tonight!!
——
I don’t have the entire medal memorized because it’s rich in prayer but my favorite from it on the back, it’s literally an exorcism prayer. Look at the medal:
C. S. S. M. L. (Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux):
“The Holy Cross be my light.”
N. D. S. M. D. (Non Draco Sit Mihi Dux):
“May the dragon never be my guide!”
The Latin Exorcism Prayers:
Saint Benedict said the following words after monks tried killing him. Once he realized they poisoned his drink, he said this:
V. R. S. (Vade Retro Satan):
“Get away, Satan.”
N. S. M. V. (Nunquam Suade Mihi Vana):
“Never tempt me with your vanities!”
S. M. Q. L. (Sunt Mala Quae Libas):
“What you offer me is evil.”
I. V. B. (Ipse Venena Bibas):
“Drink the poison yourself!”
——-
I’ll keep you in my prayers.

Exorcism Prayers for the Laity
SAINT BENEDICT MEDAL PRAYER
(2-min. read)
“𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞.” (𝐄𝐱𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚 𝐆𝐞𝐦𝐦𝐚)
1 HISTORY
During a trial for witchcraft at Natternberg near the Abbey of Metten in Bavaria in the year 1647, the accused women testified that they had no power over Metten, which was under the protection of the cross. Upon investigation, a number of painted crosses, surrounded by the letters which are now found on Benedictine medals, were found on the walls of the abbey, but their meaning had been forgotten.
Finally, in an old manuscript, written in 1415, was found a picture representing St. Benedict holding in one hand a staff which ends in a cross, and a scroll in the other. On the staff and scroll were written in full the words of which the mysterious letters were the initials. Medals bearing the image of St. Benedict, a cross, and these letters began now to be struck in Germany, and soon spread over Europe. They were first approved by Benedict XIV in his briefs of 23 December 1741, and 12 March 1742.
(Catholic Encyclopedia)
2 LATIN INVOCATIONS
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.”
V. R. S. (Vade Retro Satan):
“Begone Satan!”
N. S. M. V. (Nunquam Suade Mihi Vana):
“Never tempt me with your vanities!”
S. M. Q. L. (Sunt Mala Quae Libas):
“All that pours from you is evil!”
I. V. B. (Ipse Venena Bibas):
“Drink your own poison!”

“I am an oblate of a Benedictine Abbey. A couple of years ago, we had a terrible tornado in our town. I prayed to St. Benedict that my home and neighborhood would not be touched and they were not. I credit the prayers of St. Benedict.”
(houseofjoppa)

“My entire family has been wearing the Saint Benedict medal since the beginning of the pandemic. My husband is a physician working at one of the busiest hospitals in New York. I have a toddler that puts everything in his mouth. We travel a lot. We never got sick, never tested positive for COVID. We pray to Saint Benedict every night. He’s protecting us.”
(houseofjoppa)
Maria
Maria, a mother of three from Italy, recalls a time of great distress in her family. "There was a palpable sense of unease in our home," she says. "Nightmares, unexplained tensions, and a general feeling of malaise were frequent." A devout Catholic, Maria turned to her faith for solace and protection. After consulting with her parish priest, she placed St. Benedict Medals in her home and on her children. "It was as if a weight was lifted," she recounts. "The atmosphere in our house changed, and my children slept peacefully again."

A Medalha de São Bento Não se pode definir com precisão a data da origem da medalha que foi difundida a partir do século XVII mas seus caracteres e forma se perderam no tempo. Pode se dizer porém que é um pantáculo perfeito, e o único com caracteres latinos e pertencentes a tradição ocidental e que comprovadamente possui um poder de proteger contra o mal, curar males e nos ligar aos céus e a egregóra beneditina. Deve ser sempre usada como medalha e também junto ao terço ou rosário para lhe dar força. Sua forma mudou ao longo do tempo e hoje ela é cunhada tendo São Bento segurando a cruz e a regra, do lado esquerdo um cálice do qual sai uma serpente e do lado direito o corvo com o pão envenenado, e em seu contorno a frase "Eius in obitu nro praesentia muniamur" (Sejamos confortados pela presença de São Bento na hora de nossa morte). Do outro lado, temos a cruz de São Bento e seus caracteres: Nos quadrantes: C S P B - Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti - Cruz do Santo Pai Bento Na cruz - vertical: C S S M L - Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux - Crus Sagrada Seja Minha Luz Na cruz - horizontal: N D S M D - Non Draco Sit Mihi Dux - O Dragão Não Seja Meu Chefe No contorno - acima da cruz a inscrição PAX ( paz) e V R S N S M V S M Q L I V B - Vade Retro Satana, Nunquam Suade Mihi Vana, Sunt Male Quae Libas, Ipse Venena Bibas - Retira te Satanás, Não Me Persuades de Tuas Vaidades, O que Ofereces é o Mal, Bebe Tu Mesmo Teu Veneno.

Glorioso São Bento, Que dedicaste toda sua vida a Cristo e aos irmãos, Cuidando da vida espiritual E estabelecendo pontes de amor Entre o coração de Deus e alma do homem, Protegei-me contra os ataques do mal, Livrai-me das insídias do inimigo, Concedei-me a paz interior E a fortaleza diante das tempestades da vida. Ó poderoso São Bento, Defendei-me dos olhares invejosos E ensinai-me a partilhar o amor com todos. Que a Cruz do Senhor me guie pelos caminhos de luz, E que o dragão feroz que ronda nossa alma Seja afugentado pelo poder do Cristo Salvador. Afasta de minha vida e de minha família Toda força do mal, e que, por tua intercessão, Eu anuncie as misericórdias do Cristo Senhor! Amém! . C S P B: Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti.

Benedict was born into a distinguished family in central Italy, studied at Rome and early in life was drawn to monasticism. At first he became a hermit, leaving a depressing world—pagan armies on the march, the Church torn by schism, people suffering from war, morality at a low ebb.
He soon realised that he could not live a hidden life in a small town any better than in a large city, so he withdrew to a cave high in the mountains for three years. Some monks chose Benedict as their leader for a while, but found his strictness not to their taste. Still the shift from hermit to community life had begun for him. He had an idea of gathering various families of monks into one “Grand Monastery” to give them the benefit of unity, fraternity and permanent worship in one house. Finally he began to build what was to become one of the most famous monasteries in the world—Monte Cassino, commanding three narrow valleys running toward the mountains north of Naples.
The Rule that gradually developed prescribed a life of liturgical prayer, study, manual labor, and living together in community under a common abbot. Benedictine asceticism is known for its moderation, and Benedictine charity has always shown concern for the people in the surrounding countryside. In the course of the Middle Ages, all monasticism in the West was gradually brought under the Rule of St. Benedict.
Today the Benedictine family is represented by two branches: the Benedictine Federation encompassing the men and women of the Order of St. Benedict and the Cistercians, men and women of the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance.
St Benedict died at Monte Cassino not long after his sister, Saint Scholastica. Benedict died of a high fever on the day God had told him he was to die and was buried in the same place as his sister. According to tradition, this occurred on 21 March 543 or 547. He was named patron protector of Europe by Pope Paul VI in 1964. In 1980, Pope John Paul II declared him co-patron of Europe, together with Saints Cyril and Methodius.
Rule of Saint Benedict
Seventy-three short chapters comprise the Rule. Its wisdom is of two kinds: spiritual (how to live a Christocentric life on earth) and administrative (how to run a monastery efficiently). More than half the chapters describe how to be obedient and humble and what to do when a member of the community is not. About one-fourth regulate the work of God (the Opus Dei). One-tenth outline how and by whom, the monastery should be managed.
Following the golden rule of Ora et Labora – pray and work, the monks each day devoted eight hours to prayer, eight hours to sleep and eight hours to manual work, sacred reading, or works of charity
Saint Benedict Medal
On the front of the medal is Saint Benedict holding a cross in his right hand, the object of his devotion and in the left his rule for monasteries. In the back is a poisoned cup, in reference to the legend of Benedict, which explains that hostile monks attempted to poison him: the cup containing poisoned wine shattered when the saint made the sign of the cross over it (and a raven carried away a poisoned loaf of bread). Above the cup are the words Crux sancti patris Benedicti (“The Cross of [our] Holy Father Benedict”). Surrounding the figure of Saint Benedict are the words Eius in obitu nostro praesentia muniamur! (“May we be strengthened by his presence in the hour of our death”), since he was always regarded by the Benedictines as the patron of a happy death.
On the back is a cross, containing the letters C S S M L – N D S M D, initials of the words Crux sacra sit mihi lux! Non [Nunquam?] draco sit mihi dux! (“May the holy cross be my light! May the dragon never be my overlord!”). The large C S P B stand for Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti (“The Cross of [our] Holy Father Benedict”). Surrounding the back of the medal are the letters V R S N S M V – S M Q L I V B, in reference to Vade retro satana: Vade retro Satana! Nunquam suade mihi vana! Sunt mala quae libas. Ipse venena bibas! (“Begone Satan! Never tempt me with your vanities! What you offer me is evil. Drink the poison yourself!”) and finally, located at the top is the word PAX which means “peace”
Use of the Medal - There is no special way prescribed for carrying or wearing the Medal of St. Benedict. It can be worn on a chain around the neck, attached to one’s rosary, kept in one’s pocket or purse, or placed in one’s car or home. The medal is often put into the foundations of houses and building, on the walls of barns and sheds, or in one’s place of business.
The purpose of using the medal in any of the above ways is to call down God’s blessing and protection upon us, wherever we are and upon our homes and possessions, especially through the intercession of St. Benedict. By the conscious and devout use of the medal, it becomes, as it were, a constant silent prayer and reminder to us of our dignity as followers of Christ.
The medal is a prayer of exorcism against Satan, a prayer for strength in time of temptation, a prayer for peace among ourselves and among the nations of the world, a prayer that the Cross of Christ be our light and guide, a prayer of firm rejection of all that is evil, a prayer of petition that we may with Christian courage “walk in God’s ways, with the Gospel as our guide,” as St. Benedict urges us.
A profitable spiritual experience can be ours if we but take the time to study the array of inscriptions and representations found on the two sides of the medal. The lessons found there can be pondered over and over to bring true peace of mind and heart into our lives as we struggle to overcome the weaknesses of our human nature and realize that our human condition is not perfect, but that with the help of God and the intercession of the saints our condition can become better.
The Medal of St. Benedict can serve as a constant reminder of the need for us to take up our cross daily and “follow the true King, Christ our Lord,” and thus learn “to share in his heavenly kingdom,” as St. Benedict urges us in the Prologue of his Rule.
(via AnaStpaul – Breathing Catholic)

ORAÇÃO DE BENTO de NÚRSIA "A Cruz Sagrada seja a minha Luz. Não seja o dragão o meu guia. Retira-te satanás. Nunca me aconselhes coisas vãs. É mau o que tu me ofereces. Bebe tu mesmo o teu veneno." Amém (3x) A bênção de Deus Todo Poderoso , desça sobre nós e permaneça para sempre. Amém. A Medalha de São Bento, onde está gravada esta famosa oração, é considerada um sacramental, quer dizer, um sinal poderoso de fé. Diz-se que o uso da medalha protege contra as artes do demônio e concede graças, como a vitória sobre os inimigos e sobre a tentação. Na frente da Medalha aparece uma cruz e as letras C S P B gravadas. Estas letras são abreviações da frase em latim: Cruz Sancti Patris Benedicti ou Cruz do Santo Pai Bento. Na haste vertical da cruz estão gravadas as letras: C S S M L que significam Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux ou A cruz sagrada seja minha luz. Na haste horizontal, as iniciais N D S M D: Non Draco Sit Mihi Dux ou Não seja o dragão meu guia. No alto da Cruz está gravada a palavra PAX ou Paz, que é o lema da Ordem de São Bento. Procure, a partir da direita da palavra PAX, as iniciais: V R S N S M V que significam Vade Retro Sátana Nunquam Suade Mihi Vana ou Retira-te, satanás, nunca me aconselhes coisas vãs. E as letras S M Q L I V B: Sunt Mala Quae Libas Ipse Venena Bibas ou É mau o que me ofereces, bebe tu mesmo os teus venenos. A imagem de São Bento aparece no verso da medalha. Ele segura na mão esquerda o livro da Regra que escreveu para os monges chamados beneditinos. Na outra mão, ele segura a cruz. Ao redor da medalha, lê-se Eius in Obitu nro Praesentia Muniamur , que quer dizer: Que nos conforte na hora da nossa morte. Fonte:http://www.arcanjomiguel.net Clevinho Maia P.S: apesar de não concordar com as doutrinas dogmáticas e pagãs do catolicismo romano achei de bom grado compartilhar a história desse monge iluminado através de sua medalha, e emblema oficial que apesar de sua simplicidade encerra a descrição de pontos essenciais a serem seguidos pelos que optam pela vida santa. ✌☝👇🙏

hi there angel!!
first thank you for your blog, I really didn’t know there was such a beautiful Catholic community here and your posts and everything help remind me of God and to focus on Him ultimately when I’m too deep in scrolling… your post recently about suffering and lying in bed was absolutely so beautiful and it helped me think of my own suffering differently and it really helps because I suffer from constant mental illness and migraines.
anyway, do you have any favorite prayers? recently I was listening to a sung version of the Anima Christi and wow… that prayer is my favorite now.
thank you for spending your time praying for all of us!! ill be keeping you in my prayers c: hopefully you recover from your cold soon!
Good Evening! 🌌
Aww, thank you so much! I didn’t know there was one either before I made this blog over three years ago. A handful of them aren’t active anymore so once in a while you can find some gems but be careful tumblr tags, they aren’t all holy, let’s say, since anyone can tag anything they want.
I know the pain of those migraines for sure. See, you too can offer your own suffering up. Even on the darkest moments where you feel weakest or like you lost control, or maybe lost or unwanted by others, you too can offer up your pain and suffering.
I have some favorite prayers like the St. Michael Prayer and then an exorcism prayer Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux found on the St. Benedict Medal is also a favorite. It goes like this:
C. S. S. M. L. (Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux):
“The Holy Cross be my light.”
N. D. S. M. D. (Non Draco Sit Mihi Dux):
“May the dragon never be my guide!”
V. R. S. (Vade Retro Satan):
“Get away, Satan.”
N. S. M. V. (Nunquam Suade Mihi Vana):
“Never tempt me with your vanities!”
S. M. Q. L. (Sunt Mala Quae Libas):
“What you offer me is evil.”
I. V. B. (Ipse Venena Bibas):
“Drink the poison yourself!”
There is a wonderful video of this exorcism prayer sung by Harpa Dei that you can watch with English subtitles here. I find it quite comforting.
youtube
————
I LOVE Anima Christi! By any chance, is that video this one below because this one got stuck in my head for like two weeks. 👀

~~~~~~~~
Thank you so much for your prayers! 😭🙏🏻 I cherish praying for all of you.

STORY: The Saint Benedict Medal is a Catholic sacramental medal containing symbols and text related to the life of Saint Benedict of Nursia. The medal is one of the oldest and most honored medals used by Catholics and due to the belief in its power against evil is also known as the "devil-chasing medal". It has been used to ward off spiritual and physical dangers, especially those related to evil, poison, and temptation.On the front of the medal is Saint Benedict holding a cross in his left hand, the object of his devotion, and in the right his rule for monasteries. In the back is a poisoned cup, in reference to the legend of Benedict, which explains that hostile monks attempted to poison him: the cup containing poisoned wine shattered when the saint made the sign of the cross over it (and a raven carried away a poisoned loaf of bread). Above the cup are the words Crux sancti patris Benedicti ("The Cross of [our] Holy Father Benedict"). Surrounding the figure of Saint Benedict are the words Eius in obitu nostro praesentia muniamur! ("May we be strengthened by his presence in the hour of our death"), since he was always regarded by the Benedictines as the patron of a happy death.

Surrounding the back of the medal are the letters V R S N S M V - S M Q L I V B, in reference to Vade retro satana: Vade retro Satana! Nunquam suade mihi vana! Sunt mala quae libas. Ipse venena bibas! ("Begone Satan! Never tempt me with your vanities! What you offer me is evil. Drink the poison yourself!") and finally, located at the top is the word PAX which means "peace". In Catholic tradition, a four-way cross combines four devotional images. The top image is that of the sacred heart of Jesus, with Christ pointing to His heart. This is devotion to Christ’s physical heart as the representation of His divine love and compassion for humanity. The lower image is miraculous, depicting the Virgin Mother and these words: “O Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse to thee.” It is also called medal of the Immaculate Conception, originated by St. Catherine Labouré after her vision of the Virgin Mary in 1830. St. Christopher is depicted on the left. He is known by many as the protector of travelers. Some traditions say that he was a man of great strength whose livelihood was carrying people across a raging river – he is said to have carried the child Christ across one day. St. Joseph, the earthly father and guardian of Christ, is shown on the right. He is depicted holding a lily and the child Christ. Known as St. Joseph the Betrothed (also, of Nazareth), he was a descendant of St. David the King. He was advanced in years when called to be the Betrothed and protector of the Virgin. In submitting to the fulfillment of the prophets’ foresayings, and in his obedience to God, he is an example of putting the sacred above his own desires.
