THE SAINT MICHAEL PRAYER
AND POPE FRANCIS
Pope Leo XIII and the Prayer to St. Michael
Second Enlarged Edition
By Kevin J. Symonds
Foreword by Bishop Athanasius Schneider
2018 ix + 242p IL $18.00 #55990
We are happy to announce the publication of the second
enlarged edition of Pope Leo XIII and the
Prayer to St. Michael by Kevin J. Symonds.
Shortly after this new edition became available,
the Vatican announced that the Pope had
requested that the Prayer to St. Michael be said
after the recitation of the Rosary during the
month of October. However, this request from
the Pope has come in the midst of a
controversy within the hierarchy of the Church,
and the announcement has brought uncertainty
to some Catholics.
The web site LifeSiteNews reported that since the Pope in
recent homilies has spoken of the devil as “the Accuser,” some are
therefore wondering if Archbishop Viganò, the author of serious
allegations against fellow members of the hierarchy, is being
implicated, harshly accused of being a tool of the devil.
As Catholics strive to understand what is clearly a profound
crisis within the Church, the story of a vision seen by Pope Leo XIII
in the late nineteenth century, and known to be about an assault of
the devil against the Church, becomes something of central
importance. To understand this vision, however, it is first of all
necessary to know the truth about this event in the life of Pope Leo
XIII. The Prayer to St. Michael that is commonly recited is a
shortened version of a longer prayer that Leo XIII composed after
his vision, and this in turn is related to an Exorcism prayer that the
pontiff had also composed and which was published in the Roman
Ritual. The original and more complete versions of the Prayer to St.
Michael and this Exorcism prayer contain a passage that describes a
diabolical assault not simply against the Church in general, but also
against the Chair of Peter.
Approximately three decades after Pope Leo’s vision, Our Lady
appeared in Fatima and showed the three children another vision that
has an undeniable similarity to that part of the complete Prayer to St.
Michael and Pope Leo’s unabridged Exorcism prayer. In the Third
Secret of Fatima, published by the Vatican on June 26, 2000, we
read of a “bishop dressed in white” who is assaulted by enemies.
Not only this apparent representation of a Pope, but also other
bishops, priests, religious and laity are depicted in the Third Secret.
All members or states of life in the Church are described, and all are
overcome in the assault.
It is impossible not to see these parallels between what was
referred to by Pope Leo XIII, and what Our Lady showed to the
children of Fatima in the vision described in the Third Secret. But
what does this assault against the Church and in particular the Pope
represent? Is it primarily a physical assault, leading to physical

death, or is it above all an assault of a spiritual nature? If we study
Fatima in relation to the vision of Pope Leo XIII, the logical
conclusion is that Fatima represents not merely physical
chastisements, but above all a spiritual crisis resulting from an
assault of the devil against all members of the Church, leading all
the way to the Chair of Peter.
For these reasons it is necessary to study the vision of Leo XIII
and the apparitions of Fatima in relation to one another. Pope
Francis’s call to recite the Prayer to St. Michael, even in the midst of
uncertainties about his reasons for making this appeal at the present
time, serves as a reminder to the universal Church of the role of St.
Michael, and ultimately of Our Lady, which is also brought to light
in the book by Kevin Symonds.
With this in mind we wish to call the
attention of our readers to two other titles that we
offer. One is the booklet Mary Crushes the
Serpent (see page 27 of this catalog), an account
of the experiences of a nineteenth century exorcist
which is related to the vision of Leo XIII, and
therefore merited having an entire chapter devoted
to it in Kevin Symonds’ book. The second is our booklet Fatima
and The Third Secret: A Historical Examination based on a Letter of
Sister Lúcia & the Carmelite Biography (see page 26 of the catalog),
which defends the Third Secret against speculation about a missing
document or “fourth secret,” all of which has distracted many who
are devoted to Fatima from considering the Third Secret, and its
supernatural message regarding the present trials facing the Church
Kevin Symonds, the author of Pope Leo XIII and the Prayer to
St. Michael, has come under criticism from Matt Gaspers of Catholic
Family News for his writings against the theory of the so-called
“fourth secret,” the position Kevin Symonds also defended in his
debate with Christopher Ferrara at the Angelus Press Conference on
October 13, 2017. Mr. Gaspers has recently published two articles
criticizing Mr. Symonds (Catholic Family News, September 2018,
pp. 13-14, & October 2018, pp. 20-21).
The central issue in this debate is that Matt Gaspers and other
defenders of a so-called missing document overlook the spiritual
symbolism of the Third Secret itself. Sister Lucia had explained the
Third Secret in her May 12, 1982 letter to Pope John Paul II as a
“symbolic revelation,” and in this context she gave the Pope a
general interpretation of the meaning of its symbolism. Matt
Gaspers, on the other hand, assumes that the Third Secret does not
contain this symbolic revelation, and therefore he fails to see the
spiritual significance of what he interprets as primarily physical
death and destruction. The vision of the Third Secret describes, for
example, a “city half in ruins.” Father Nicholas Gruner himself had
acknowledged the spiritual significance of this “city” as representing
the Church and Christian Civilization, not merely physical cities
with their buildings and monuments. Failing to appreciate the
spiritual meaning of the Third Secret is what has led to the endless
search for an alleged missing document.
In this context Kevin Symonds’ book Pope Leo XIII and the
Prayer to St. Michael, a history of this important prayer, now
brought to the attention of the Catholic world with the Pope’s recent
request that it be recited, has become more timely than ever. The
book will help the reader to relate the vision of Pope Leo XIII to the
vision of the Third Secret, which Our Lady gave to the children of
Fatima three decades after Leo XIII had seen a vision of a diabolical
assault against the Church

The Catholic Bibliographical Index

For more than a quarter of a century Preserving Christian Publications has been electronically cataloging books by Catholic authors
obtained from Catholic institutions and private collections, primarily in the northeast of the USA, but also from the Midwest and Far West of
the country, as well as from southeastern Canada and Puerto Rico. The resulting bibliography of nearly 25,000 Catholic titles is far from a
complete listing of books by Catholic authors. Nevertheless we believe it serves as a useful research tool, and as an introduction to the world’s
Catholic literature. Though primarily a list of Catholic books published in English, it also contains many Latin titles and books in several other
languages.
It is not always easy to determine whether or not certain authors are Catholic, either because they are not sufficiently known to us, or
because their publishing houses are not Catholic. But we have always tried to verify the Catholic identity of authors before including their
works in the bibliography. In a relatively small number of cases we have included some non-Catholic writers when they wrote on Catholic
subjects, but we have added “non-Catholic” after their names to distinguish them from the other authors in the list. In some rare cases we may
have mistakenly included some non-Catholic authors without identifying them as such, but we are confident that such errors are very minimal.
Therefore this Catholic Bibliographical Index represents the fruit of more than three decades of our work in making Catholic books better
known and available to readers throughout the world.

Comments by Dr. Barbara Berfanger, Ed.D., Former President, St. Mary’s College, Kansas
Recently I learned about the release of the Catholic Bibliographical Index by Preserving Christian Publications. My experience in
research and in teaching led me to recognize quickly and without doubt that this Index offers an immense, rich resource about works by
Catholic authors.
The Index is easy to navigate. Once the user gets started, he can browse by category or search the entire database. The works are listed in
a wide range of categories, and the titles are numbered within each category. This feature can keep the searcher on track and save him from
getting lost in a long list. The listed titles, most with brief annotations, are clear, well-spaced, and easy to read. Bold-faced headings attract
reader’s attention to essential publication information.
Anyone searching for references to Catholic authors can find the Index beneficial. It can be helpful to the teacher who wants to compile a
reading list to aid students following his or her courses. Secondary and college instructors will find the Index indispensable in guiding students
in traditional methods of using an index as an early step in composing a research paper. By being directed to worthwhile works to consider,
students can gain skill and will likely discover and appreciate some of the treasures that Catholics have inherited. The Index can yield
satisfying rewards to advanced scholars and even to general readers who are pursuing specific searches.
It is a pleasure to give a hearty welcome and endorsement to this gold-mine of information.

The Mass: A Study of the Roman Liturgy

Father Adrian Fortescue
2007 (first ed. 1912) reprint of 1930 ed. 429 pages hardback dust jacket $28 #55662
a definitive English-language work on the Roman Rite of the Mass
“Essentially the Missal of Pius V is the Gregorian Sacramentary; that again is formed from the Gelasian
book, which depends on the Leonine collection. We find the prayers of our Canon in the treatise de
Sacramentis and allusions to it in the IVth century. So our Mass goes back, without essential change, to the
age when it was first developed out of the oldest liturgy of all. It is still redolent of that liturgy, of the days
when Caesar ruled the world and thought he could stamp out the faith of Christ, when our fathers met together before dawn and sang
a hymn to Christ as to a God. The final result of our inquiry is that, in spite of unsolved problems, in spite of later changes, there is
not in Christendom another rite so venerable as ours.”
“. . . the Roman Missal promulgated by St. Pius V. . . [was] never abrogated . . . .”
– Pope Benedict XVI, motu proprio Summorum Pontificum, July 7, 2007

The Celebration of Mass:

A Study of the Rubrics of the Roman Missal
Father J. B. O’Connell
In 2006 we came out with the first reprint of Father J. B. O’Connell’s famous work, the fourth edition
(1964) of The Celebration of Mass: A Study of the Rubrics of the Roman Missal. This book gives the rules to
be followed in celebrating the traditional rite of the Mass in all its forms: low Mass, solemn high Mass, or the
various forms of the Requiem Mass. This basic manual or textbook not only teaches the correct way to
celebrate the traditional Mass, but also includes comments on the nature of the liturgy, liturgical law, the
calendar, vestments, and a multitude of related topics. Moreover, laymen may have an interest in discovering the underpinnings of the
Mass and what is required of the celebrant. In this way they may have a better appreciation of the priest and his action when he offers
the Sacrifice of the Mass. This sewn hardback reprint has a useful ribbon marker that can help locate the page to be studied. Also, the
hefty size of this book, with its 622 pages, should provide hours of reflective study to those who are serious about why the priest should
be as exact as he can, in following the rules for ministering at the altar of God. Hardback, 622 pages, $34.00 #39127

The Admirable Heart of Mary

St. John Eudes
St. John Eudes, Apostle of Jesus and Mary, reveals to his disciples how Our Lady’s heart was the first-fruit
of Her Divine Son’s Passion, given to all of Mary’s children, that it might be honored, cherished, invoked and,
ultimately, with that of her Son, reproduced in them. This is the essence of St. John Eudes’ spirituality which
spilled over into the foundation of many religious congregations, literary works and of course, the practice of
heroic virtue while on earth. This spiritual doctrine, which ultimately contributes to the Triumph of the
Immaculate Heart of Mary and of Her Divine Son, Jesus Christ, is very pertinent for our time.

 A DICTIONARY OF THE
PSALTER
Containing the Vocabulary of the Psalms,
Hymns, Canticles, & Miscellaneous Prayers of
the Breviary Psalter
Based on the Latin Vulgate Psalter with English definitions &
explanations / 2007 299 pages (reprint of 1928 ed) hardback /
preface by Rt. Rev John B. Petersen $28.00 #55661
Covering such preliminary topics as “English Catholic
Version of the Psalter,” “Latin Versions of the
Psalter,” “The Latinity of the Vulgate
Psalter,” and “How the Psalms are
Numbered,” true to form, the dictionary goes
on to define and decline each Latin word used
in the Vulgate Psalter (as used in the
traditional Roman Breviary), its English
parallel, derivative, and cites where the word
was used and its context.

Manual of Episcopal
Ceremonies
Based on the Caeremoniale Episcoporum, Decrees of the
Sacred Congregation of Rites and Approved Authors [2 vols in
1] – by Rt Rev. Aurelius Stehle, OSB
“Curiously enough, it has been my good fortune to use
Archabbot Aurelius Stehle’s MANUAL
OF EPISCOPAL CEREMONIES in a
variety of roles. First as a sacristan,
then as a master of ceremonies, and
finally as a bishop, I have discovered
myself seeking the direction of its
pages. Never have I been disappointed.
“For the sacristan, its careful
listing immediately before each
ceremony of the preparations required
is invaluable. The admirable and
orderly fashion of this listing serves as
an infallible guide to all, whose duty it
is to set the scene and arrange the
background, against which any
impressive ceremony moves.
“For the master of ceremonies, its complete outline of the
ceremony itself, coupled with its special notes for each
participant, is priceless. This arrangement, giving in a glance
the ceremony in its totality as well as its respective parts,
enables the master to set up, well in advance, each ceremonial
situation. This assures a reverent yet continuing execution of
the ceremony, deeply appreciated by all the participants within
and without the sanctuary.
“For the bishop, its wealth of detail, pertinent to the
ceremonial life he finds so much a part of his office, makes this
work an absolute ‘must’ for his library. It is always reliable for
the answer to problems related to ceremonies. Its careful use
assures the bishop and his retinue at the Altar, that they are
performing the Divine Liturgy according to the strict mind of
the Church. This is no small consolation to those who love the
Church, and try earnestly to live its life of worship.
“A number of revisions, made necessary by the latest
Roman decrees, are included in this present edition, the fifth in
an enviable line. These represent a labor of love on the part of
the revisor, Father Emmeran Rettger . . . .
“Fortunately too in the revision, the mode and the tone of
the original work remain. These have combined to make the
original a classic in its field. Like the saintly Archbishop
Canevin, who recommended the first edition, I urge ‘all who
are interested in having ceremonies conducted according to the
mind of the Church’ to consult and study this present edition. I
am confident the result will be a thrilling experience for all
who love to offer with the Church the Holy Sacrifice in the
magnificent setting of the Pontifical Mass.”
Most Rev. William G. Connare,
Bishop of Greensburg.
