What is the writing on the back, please ?
Any chance of some better pics?
Try using a dark background and take pics in natural light if possible.
The light background confuses the camera.

The back reads: 'J.M.J. be with us on our way'. Here is one like it:

jesus, mary and joesph -- JMJ -- jesus (on the cross) and mary and joesph on either side of it ---it can not pre date 1830 * the "miraculious medal" date -- used on it --in 1830 the spirit of the virgin mary told st cathrine to have a "medal" struck --the 1830 is used to celebrate that * so after 1830 it must be,,still its a older style cross .

Catholic? Do catholics have a tradition of giving someone (relative) a cross/crucifix with a deceased person's initials and message on it for 'guidance in the future?' Don't know...

Appears to be an exact match. A 3 way Catholic cross pendant. They made millions of these religious pendants. This auction will give you an idea of value. Solved.
