Saint Malachi

He was recognized for having powers of levitation, healing and clairvoyance. On his way to the Vatican to assume the papal office of Ireland, he fell into a trance and "saw" a line of papal kingdoms from the successor of Innocent II to the last on the list, identified as Peter of Rome. (today �“ 2004 - only two are missing). Malachi assigned brief Latin descriptions to each Pope as he transferred his vision to paper. These notes usually referred to place of birth, rank of arms, or family name. Some of the phrases are multiple prophecies, written with clever wordplay. For example, Pius II, who reigned for only 26 days, was described as "De Parvo Homine" (of a little man). His family name was Piccolomini, Italian for "little man."
