Exorcism Prayers for protection against evil: These Benedictine prayers are so powerful! The Benedictine medal is an amazing sacramental. In the 11th century, Pope Leo IX was the first pope to reportedly have worn the medal after a miraculous cure from a snake bite. Even though the Church is unsure of its exact origins, various forms of the medal have been worn ever since.
Jubilee Medal
The Jubilee Medal, created in 1880, is the current medal. It was made in honor of the 1,400 anniversary of Saint Benedict's birth, known as the Father of Western Monasticism. On the back of the medal, there are very powerful exorcism prayers.
The faithful may recite these prayers at anytime to ward off evil. Many people also hang the blessed medals in their homes, bury them in building foundations, and put them on other sacramentals (such as Rosaries). It is also common to wear the Benedictine medal. Latin guidance and exorcism prayers are inscribed on the back of the Benedictine medal.

S. M. Q. L. (Sunt Mala Quae Libas): "What you offer me is evil."
I. V. B. (Ipse Venena Bibas): "Drink the poison yourself!"
Many Catholic bookstores sell Benedictine medals, if you do not own one. Be sure a priest blesses it! Saint Benedict, please pray for us.
