Saint Benedict Medal meaning:

The intercession of St. Benedict is known to have power and our faith can release this power. The medal is reminder that we are protected by the power of Christ.

This religious object is a Christian symbol of opening doors and opening difficult paths. Tradition holds that it protects from curses, evil and vice, protects against diseases and protects good health.

The front side of the medal:
C S P B = Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti (Latin text) = The Cross of [our] Holy Father Benedict
C S S M L = Crux Sancta Sit Mihi Lux! (Latin text) = May the holy cross be my light!
N D S M D = Nunquam Draco Sit Mihi Dux! (Latin text) = May the dragon never be my overlord! Or Let the devil not be my leader!
Surrounding the medal are the letters V R S = Vade retro satana ('Begone, Satan!') formula which has been used by Christians to ward off evil since the 15th century.

The back side of the medal is Saint Benedict holding a cross in his right hand, the Christian symbol of salvation and in the left his Rule for Monasteries.
