Vade Retro Satana (Prayer of the Medal of St. Benedict)

May the Holy Cross be my light! Let not the dragon be my guide. Begone, Satan! Never tempt me with your vanities. What you offer me is evil. Drink the poison yourself! (Crux sacra sit mihi lux. Non draco sit mihi dux. Vade retro Satana. Nunquam suade mihi vana. Sunt mala quae libas. Ipse venena bibas.) May we be strengthened by the presence of the holy Father Benedict, and may the Cross of Christ be our seal and our shield. Amen.
