POPE JOHN PAUL I

1978

This Pope reigned but a month; he died suddenly, some would say under suspicious circumstances. This holy card image is the only one we have of the Holy Father which is suitable for scanning. The prophecy concerning him by St. Malachy is below, and accurate as to his name and length of reign.

De medietate Lunae
[Of the half of the moon]

ALBINO LUCIANI

Born in Canale d'Ogardo, diocese of Belluno, [beautiful moon] he was elected Pope on August 26: his reign lasted about a month, from half a moon to the next half.
