Happy Feast Day!! And Habemus Papam!! This is one of my favorites (and historically has been a favorite). Significantly, the namesake predecessor of our new Holy Father, Leo XIII, actually wrote the St. Michael prayer!! In the Medieval Centuries, Mt. Gargano and the famous cave of apparition, now a cave-basilica and the only basilica in the world not to be blessed by a Bishop (you'll have to listen to the story to find out why), was the 4th most visited pilgrimage site in the world. I had the pleasure of being there two weeks ago, and it is still a powerful place, full of St. Michael's presence. Learn what he wants for us! Rediscover the Prayer of St. Michael!
