# The Vision of October 13, 1884
According to accounts, Pope Leo XIII experienced a remarkable vision on October 13, 1884, while celebrating Mass in the Vatican. Witnesses reported that the Pope suddenly froze, appearing transfixed by something unseen. After several minutes, he regained his composure, but he was visibly shaken and deeply troubled.
Pope Leo XIII later described his vision, in which he perceived a conversation between God and Satan. In this dialogue, Satan boasted that he could destroy the Church if given enough time and power. God granted Satan the opportunity to test the Church for a century. This vision profoundly impacted Pope Leo, who recognized it as a warning about the spiritual warfare facing humanity.
