The Alleged Confrontation Between Jesus and Satan
that Shook the Roots of the Church
that Shook the Roots of the Church
On October 13, 1884, Pope Leo XIII finished saying Mass at the Vatican, in Rome.. He turned to step down the stairs, and all of a sudden collapsed, falling into what was thought to be a coma or even death.
The priests and even cardinals rushed to his side, fearing that he had had a heart attack and died. But the Pope rose, and was visibly shaken. He looked traumatized and rushed back to his apartment where he immediately wrote a Prayer of "Leonine Exorcism" – the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel to “protect us in battle.” He then mandated this prayer to be said after every Mass from that point forth.
The Mystical Ecstasy:
Pope Leo did not die. Allegedly, he fell into what is known as a mystical ecstasy. Upon his recovery he revealed that he heard a confrontation between Satan and Jesus coming from in front of the tabernacle.
He reported that he heard a deep gruff voice which the Pope identified as Satan, boasting that he could destroy the whole Holy Catholic Church and have the whole Church under his domain if only he “had more time and more power.”
He heard a gentle, masculine voice say, “How much time… how much power?”
The deep voice replied “One hundred years, and power over those who would give themselves in service to me.”
He heard Jesus say, “So be it.”
The Pope reported that he then saw a horrifying vision of the evil demons all being released from hell.
Prayer to St. Michael:
He returned directly to his room and wrote the Leonine Exorcism. The Pope feared that Satan - the devil - would attempt to destroy both the Church, the faith, and the teachings and traditions of the Church. To try to protect the Church and all families throughout the world, he wrote a prayer for a powerful intercession by the great St. Michael the Archangel.
Between 1882 and 1902 Pope Leo also wrote 12 Encyclicals on the Rosary. It was if he was saying “Here is the answer… here is the weapon against Satan… the power of the Rosary…. put yourself in the hands of the Mother of God.”
The Short Version of the Prayer to St. Michael:
The shortened version of the prayer reads, “St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; may God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.”
This is a very holy prayer, but not the original Prayer to St. Michael that Pope Leo composed and ordered to be recited at every Mass. It is believed that Church authorities substituted this new prayer to keep people unaware of the incredible content of the original prayer. The Church also withdrew Pope Leo's “mandate” to say this prayer after every Mass.
Satan’s Power is Breaking:
Many Catholics believe that Satan has targeted a systematic dismantling of the traditional Roman Catholic Church, including the Faith, Dogmas, and Sacraments. They believe that the problems of the Church including the reformation, progressive modernization, scandal, loss of vocations, and falling away from the faith is the result of his surge of power this last century.
They believe that the 20th century was given to Satan as a time of testing for humanity, and that this past century has been the most sinful in all history with all the wars and atrocities. They also believe that although he is acting more aggressively in causing immorality, his power is staring to wane.
Pope Leo XIII had a mystical experience. That experience, and Prayer to St. Michael, remains one of the most interesting events relating to the present confrontation between satan and the Church of Jesus.
