One of the most important events in the last 500 years is known as the Vision of Pope Leo XIII.

This is the Prayer composed by Saint Pope Leo XIII after a vision of the future perils facing the world that took place October 13, 1884!

33 years later to the day occurred the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima!

This is the prayer that we say after every Mass at our local parish.

There are many accounts that Pope Leo XIII had a vision in which he heard God and Satan conversing. The gist of the conversation was that Satan told God he could destroy the church, at which the Lord told him to go ahead. Satan replied that he needed more time and more power.

The Lord asked how much time and how much power. Satan answered that he needed 100 years and greater power over the people of the earth.

According to one account, God gave Satan the time and the power. This took place on October 13, 1884.

He was so shaken by his vision that he reportedly passed out, and some thought he had had a stroke or heart attack, until he explained what had happened.

It was after this vision that he composed the prayer to St. Michael, which was prayed after each Mass at the foot of the altar until Vatican II changed it.

Pope Leo XIII composed the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel, asking his protection. It goes as follows: “Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle; be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and the other evil spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen”.
