MJM - St. Benedict Medal Necklace
The Benedict Medal Necklace - as worn by Michael James Mette - contains the exorcism prayer of St. Benedict (the father of Western Monasticism) against evil spirits: "The Cross of Holy Father Benedict, May the Holy Cross be my light, Let not the dragon be my guide, Begone Satan! Suggest not vain things to me, Evil is the cup thou offerest, Drink thou thine own poison."
