In the Rite of Exorcism and in the battle against \"lost causes,\" it is not the abstract concept of \"peace\" that drives back darkness - it is the sovereign \u003cstrong\u003eName of Jesus\u003c\/strong\u003e. By restoring the IHS monogram to our rosaries, we return to the Christ-centered roots of this powerful sacramental, providing you with a \"Shield of the Faithful\" that is historically accurate and spiritually potent.\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Traditio Catholica","offers":[{"title":"Crucifix","offer_id":47703528046730,"sku":"CRUCIFIX-ROSEGOLD-000001","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With 24\" Chain","offer_id":47703528079498,"sku":"CRUCIFIX-ROSEGOLD-CHAIN-000001","price":124.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/7054\/0938\/files\/CRUCIFIX_White-Rosegold_closeup.jpg?v=1771309280","url":"https:\/\/shop.traditiocatholica.com\/products\/st-benedict-18k-rose-gold-crucifix-18k-alabaster-white-seamless-center-traditio-designs-exclusive","provider":"Traditio Catholica","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
