St. Leo the Great Comments
St. Leo the Great was born in Tuscany. As deacon, he was dispatched to Gaul as a mediator by Emperor Valentinian III. He reigned as Pope between 440 and 461. He persuaded Emperor Valentinian to recognize the primacy of the Bishop of Rome in an edict in 445.

Pope St. Leo the Great, Your holy life is a great inspiration to me. Please remember me in your prayers.
St Leo the great please pray for me and my family
Amen
Thank you, St.Leo the Great, for all of your help!
Dear St. Leo, You were a beacon of holiness, that influenced Attila, as well as a man of practical wisdom who worked untiringly to protect your flock. Pray for us to be filled with wisdom to lead holy lives in today's world! Thank You.
St. Leo the Great, so numerous are your travails, and even greater are your achievements. Your fought with all your might, energy and prayers the terrible heresies that came to be. You affirmed our one true faith, our beloved Lord Jesus, God made man, divine and human.
You faced Attila the Hun. Very inspiring to note that in religious art you are seen at that meeting with Peter and Paul at your side. You managed to preserve Rome from being savagely ransacked.
Dear Saint you also addressed many other vitally important issues that faced the Church of your times. Dear St. Leo, you are forthright, brave and courageous. Pray for our Church in these turbulent times, for the sanctity of the clergy, the return of lapsed Catholics to the true practice of the Faith. Renew us in the New Roman Misal, which we are preparing to use fully by the first Sunday of Advent. May the Blessed Trinity be praised, honoured and glorified. Amen.

I used him as my confirmation saint. He was in deed great, for turning back the likes of atilla the hun,and that other barbarian at the gates of rome.He is solely responsible for the incarnation and the allocation of Jesus Christ, in his writings there are numerous refrences to the wisdom this man held! Thats proof of his greatness!!
This is so sparse. I thought St. Leo, the Great is the Great because he was Great. This treatment here is not convincing that he is indeed the Great.
Pope Leo was very holy, brave, and convincing to people who could be very ruthless. We could benefit from more holy people like Pope Leo to help nurture peace in our world.
"The Great" is well earned and deserved.
Yes! He was really Leo the Great!
May the Love of all God's Saints and Angels, constantly teach us, surround and protect us from all evil.
Amen.
St leo is really an object of emulation to other christian who are not bold to approach persons in higher offices.
It doesn't say why St. Leo was named a saint.
i need this for my homework and it was not helpful at all
St. Leo the Great was my saint for conformation in church. I had chosen him because i thought he name was interesting, and nothing else. Two years later i come back and find i made an excellent choice because he is an inspiration, and a man of peace.
Wow... great saint! I'm gonna make him my confirmation saint!
St Leo is awesome!!! Ive made him my saint name with pride! Keep up the good work Leo!
