The Miraculous Medal was designed by the Virgin Mary herself!

THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL

It was almost midnight when St. Catherine Labouré was awakened by a soft voice, whispering, “Sister, sister, sister.” Mysterious events led her to the chapel where the Blessed Mother appeared and sat down near the altar. St. Catherine knelt at her feet, rested her hands in Mary’s lap, looked into her eyes, and had a heart-to-heart conversation with her. Later, St. Catherine would refer to that night as “the sweetest moment of my life.”... Designed and revealed by Mary herself, the Medal is unique among all medals... the Story of the Miraculous medal is continued on this link:

ABOUT THE St Benedict MEDAL

One of the most famous and recognizable holy medals is St. Benedict’s medal. Pope Benedict XIV approved the use of the original medal in 1741, but the medal widely used today was approved in 1880 for the 1,400-year anniversary of the founding of the Benedictine Order. This two-sided medal includes several details one might overlook at first. On the front is an image of Benedict, with a cross in his right hand and the Rule of Benedict in his left. At his feet are a chalice and a raven, images that call to mind Benedict’s miraculous deliverance from poison. Surrounding the image of the saint are the words crux patris benedicti, Latin for “the cross of the Father Benedict.” Along the outer edge of the medal are the words ejus in obitu nostro praesentia muniamur, which means “at our death may we be fortified by his presence.”

The reverse side of Benedict’s medal contains several powerful prayers, written as initials for wearers to memorize, among them CSSML for crux sacra sit mihi lux, meaning “the holy cross be my light,” and NDSMD for non draco sit mihi dux, which translates “let not the dragon be my guide.” Around the edges are letters signifying these Latin mottoes: VRSNSMV—SMQLIVB, vade retro satana, numquam suade mihi vana! sunt mala quae libas. ipse venena bibas, meaning, “Begone, Satan! Never tempt me with your vanities! What you offer me is evil. Drink the poison yourself!” At the top is usually a pax for “peace.”

If you own Benedict’s medal and would like to have it blessed, you can always visit a Benedictine priest for a proper blessing, exorcism, and pouring of holy water. (Not that you must have a Benedictine priest in particular—in fact, any priest or deacon can bless the medal—but the parallel is nice.)
