Dear Alan: V R S N S M V - S M Q L I V B is the full reference for the first letters of the words to a prayer in Latin: Vade retro Satana! Nunquam suade mihi vana! Sunt mala quae libas. Ipse venena bibas! This means: "Begone Satan! Never tempt me with your vanities! What you offer me is evil. Drink the poison yourself!" You can read the details of the St. Benedict Medal from the website of the Benedictines. God Bless, Footer Notes: This forum is for general questions on the faith.
