Gregorian Chant: Prayer to St Michael

About this sermon

The text of the St Michael Prayer was composed by Pope Leo XIII in 1884 as a response to the terrible vision he had of God granting Satan power to wage war against his Church for 75-100 years. The melody of this chant seems to be composed by the Benedictine monks of Our Lady of Guadalupe monastery in New Mexico. This would appear to be an original recording by the monks, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6LNhFmVR_8&t=1s The harmony of this chant, on the other hand, is taken from Harpa Dei's version, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lovUujcZIqo For lessons on how to sing chant, as well as other chant recordings, interviews and more, visit the Gregorian Chant Academy here: https://www.youtube.com/c/GregorianChantAcademy Please consider supporting the work of this Academy for as little as $2/mo by joining us at Patreon.com/GregorianChantAcademy.
