Habemus Papam!

Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, O.S.A., the 69-year-old American Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops, has been elected as the 267th successor of Saint Peter. He took the name Leo XIV.

Pope Leo XIV was elected on May 8, 2025, on the anniversary of the apparitions of Saint Michael the Archangel on Mount Gargano in Italy.

One of his predecessors, Pope Leo XIII, is credited with authoring the powerful prayer for spiritual protection.

Saint Michael the Archangel miraculously appeared four times in the following story, therefore dedicating his own basilica, the Sanctuary of San Michele Arcangelo.

Saint Michael’s First Apparition

Between the third and eighth centuries, legend says that while a wealthy man named Gargano tended his animals, one of his bulls escaped and wandered off alone. Angered at finding the bull grazing by himself in front of a cave, he shot a poisoned arrow at it.

The arrow then turned around and hit him! Gargano was so disturbed that he told the bishop about his experience.

The bishop then ordered three days of prayer and fasting. On the final day, Saint Michael appeared to the bishop.

Saint Michael said:

“You have done well to ask God what was hidden from men. A miracle struck the man with his own arrow, so that it was clear that all this happens by my will.

“I am the Archangel Michael and I am always in the presence of God. The cave is sacred to me. And since I have decided to protect this place and its inhabitants on earth, I wanted to attest in this way that I am of this place and of everything that takes place as patron and custodian.

“Where the rock is thrown open, the sins of men can be forgiven. What will be asked here in prayer will be granted. Go therefore to the mountain and dedicate the cave to Christian worship.”

The bishop did not immediately follow Saint Michael’s request because this cave was once a place of pagan worship.

Saint Michael’s Second Apparition

Saint Michael then appeared again in 492. However, this appearance connects to the fight between the Byzantines and the Lombards from 662-663, in which the Greeks attacked the Sanctuary of Gargano. Duke of Benevento Grimoaldo I, came to the sanctuary’s defense.

The account reads,

“[…] And then the same night, which preceded the day of the battle, Saint Michael appeared in vision to the bishop (Lorenzo Maiorano), he says that the prayers have been answered, he promises to be present and warns to give battle to the enemies at fourth hour of the day.”

Traditionally, the Duke of Benevento defeated the Greeks on May 8, and the battle was “accompanied by earthquakes, thunderbolts and lightning,” on May 8.

May 8 is now celebrated in the Catholic Church as the feast of the anniversary of the apparitions of Saint Michael the Archangel.

Saint Michael’s Dedication & Third Appearance
After the victory of Grimoaldo, Bishop Maiorano submitted to Saint Michael’s request and decided to dedicate the sanctuary.

However, Saint Michael appeared again and said to the Bishop of Siponto:

“It is not your task to consecrate the Basilica I built. I who founded it, I myself consecrated it. But you go in and go to this place, placed under my protection.”
Bishop Lorenzo, seven Apulian bishops, the Sipontino clergy, and the people of the land proceeded to the sacred mountain.

According to the Basilica’s website, a miracle occurred on their journey.

“Some eagles, with their spread wings, sheltered the bishops from the rays of the sun. Once at the Grotto, they found a rough altar erected there, covered with a vermilion pallium and surmounted by a Cross. Moreover, as the legend tells, they found in the rock the footprint of San Michael.”
This basilica is also known as the “Celestial Basilica” because Saint Michael dedicated it himself.

The Fourth Apparition

In 1656, southern Italy experienced a terrible plague. Bishop Alfonso Puccinelli resorted to prayers and fasting and asked for Saint Michael’s intercession.

While in prayer, he felt an earthquake as Saint Michael appeared to him “in a dazzling splendor and ordered him to bless the stones of his cave, carving on them the sign of the cross and the letters ‘MA’ (Michael Archangel).

“Anyone who had devotedly kept those stones with him would have been immune to the plague.”

Saint Michael then cured the city and anyone who requested these stones.

These stones are now considered Saint Michael’s relics and are successfully used for exorcisms.

The bishop later ordered a Saint Michael statue to be built. The monument faces the balcony of the room where Saint Michael appeared to him.

I would like to invite you, today, to join me in praising the Lord, who never abandons us and who, in times of sorrow, places people beside us who reflect a ray of His love. I thank you all for your prayers, and I thank those who assist me with such dedication.
