-
Latin Inscription: Around the image of St. Benedict, there is a Latin inscription that reads "Eius in obitu nostro praesentia muniamur," which translates to "May we be strengthened by his presence in the hour of our death." This inscription signifies the medal's role as a source of protection, especially in times of spiritual need and during one's passing from this life.
