The Story Behind the Shirt
Christ answered the devil's last temptation with a command: Begone, Satan. In Matthew 4:10 (Douay-Rheims): “Begone, Satan.” And the next verse: “Then the devil left him.” The same command, in Latin, opens the prayer ringed around the St. Benedict medal: Vade retro Satana, “Begone, Satan, do not suggest to me thy vanities.” Every man is tempted. Every man can answer the same way.
On the back: an engraved cross, beveled in gold and deep red, standing in a glow of golden rays, over “VADE RETRO SATANA” in cream capitals and “BEGONE SATAN” in gold. On the chest: the original 1765 A Co. mark in our founder's own hand. More Catholic gifts for men.
