The following prayer was written by Pope Leo XIII in 1884. Consequentially, this vision he saw was on October 13, exactly 33 years before Our Mother visited the three children in Fatima with her love and her warnings. Coincidence? I think NOT!
Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
One day after celebrating Mass, Pope Leo XIII was found staring blankly. A moment later, he suddenly snapped back to the present and quickly shut himself into to his private office. A half an hour later, with his attendants knocking to see if everything was okay, he emerged having composed the Prayer to St. Michael. From that day forward, he was known to regularly recite the prayer.
What did he see that inspired the prayer? In one account, he had a vision of demonic forces circling Rome. In another account, Leo actually heard a conversation between God and Satan, in which God allowed Satan to choose one century in which to do his worst work. And what century did the evil one choose? The 20th century. (Maybe the 100 years was given to be for the Fatima visits of the Blessed Mother to the three children in 1917, and this the end of that period)
(One of the worst things that Pope Paul VI did was get rid of this prayer, which was to be said after Low Mass by decree of Pope Leo XIII. I guess that there wasn't to be anymore evil in the world, so this petition is worthless. Huh?)
Keep praying!
