 Pope hears a conversation between Jesus and satan...


On September 25, 1888, following his morning Mass, Pope Leo XIII became traumatized to the point that he collapsed. Those in attendance thought that he was dead. After coming to consciousness, the Pope described a frightful conversation that he had heard coming from near the tabernacle. The conversation consisted of two voices – voices which Pope Leo XIII clearly understood to be the voices of Jesus Christ and the Devil. The Devil boasted that he could destroy the Church, if he were granted 75 years to carry out his -plan (or 100 years, according to some accounts). The Devil also asked permission for “a greater influence over those who will give themselves to my service.” To the Devil’s requests, Our Lord reportedly replied: “you will be given the time and the power.”


Shaken deeply by what he had heard, Pope Leo XIII composed the Prayer to St. Michael and ordered it to be recited after all Masses as a protection for the Church against the attacks from Hell. 


- Prayer to St. Michael 


Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in this day of battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and may Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host - by the Power of God - cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits, who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.  Amen

成聖是一步步來

 成聖是一步步來 有些人深知, 他們是在恩典之外, 陷入於死罪當中,可是他們不以為意, 也不哀傷, 也不去思想它。 他們盡他們所能, 要得到最大的肉體享樂以及屬世的安慰。 他們離恩典越遠, 他們便越發行樂。有些人覺得, 沒有恩典是一件很高興的事, 好叫他們更充份和更自由地尋求肉慾...
