ST. MICHAEL HYMN | by Paul Jernberg & Michael Clayton (http://MagnificatInstitute.org)

At the conclusion of every Mass in the Catholic community of St. Anthony Parish in Hillsdale, Michigan, something very special happens. Pews always overflowing with students, faculty and staff from Hillsdale College join in singing a resounding and even haunting plea to St. Michael the Archangel. 

I was moved to take out my phone and record it. Before sharing, here's an account on the origin of this prayer by Monsignor Carl Vogl, as presented in "Pope Leo XIII and the Prayer to St. Michael" by Kevin Symonds

“A rather peculiar circumstance induced Pope Leo XIII to compose this powerful prayer. After celebrating Mass one day he was in conference with the Cardinals. Suddenly he sank to the floor. Several doctors were summoned at once but found no pulse—the very life seemed to have ebbed away from the fragile and aging body. Suddenly he recovered and said: “What a horrible vision I have been shown!” He saw the ages to come, the seductive powers and ravings of the devils against the Church in every land. But St. Michael appeared in the moment of greatest distress and cast Satan and his cohorts back into the abyss of hell. Such was the occasion that caused Pope Leo XIII to prescribe this prayer for the universal Church.” 

May every soul and community bearing the Sacred and powerful name of Jesus Christ awaken to our place in the Mystical Body of Christ and make His salvation known, particularly through such a powerful intercessory prayer.
