The meaning

The rosary and the Saint Benedict crucifix
The rosary is prayed decade by decade: an Our Father, ten Hail Marys and a Glory Be, while meditating on a mystery in the lives of Jesus and Mary. Here the crucifix carries the Saint Benedict medal, with the cross and the letters C S P B, for Cross of the Holy Father Benedict, and the initials of his Latin prayer against evil, which begins Vade retro Satana. Catholics turn to it when they ask God's help against temptation. This full five-decade rosary has 6 mm polished hematite beads on silver-tone links, a 45 x 25 mm crucifix with black enamel inlay and Saint Benedict medals along the strand.
Giving it as a gift
For a godson at his confirmation, a father on Father's Day, or a family in mourning who keep praying. Also a Christmas gift for anyone who prays the rosary every day.
The prayer
Crux sacra sit mihi lux, non draco sit mihi dux. Vade retro Satana, numquam suade mihi vana. Sunt mala quae libas, ipse venena bibas. (May the holy cross be my light; let not the dragon be my guide. Begone, Satan, never suggest vain things to me. What you offer is evil; drink the poison yourself.)
Prayer of the Saint Benedict medal, in Latin with its English translation
