Introduction

Welcome to St. Michael’s Lent, a playlist featuring the timeless tradition started by St. Francis of Assisi in the 13th century.

The 40 days devotion of St. Michael the Archangel, or St. Michael’s Lent,  began with St Francis, who was devoted to the Archangel, and desired to more intimately share in the passion of Christ our Lord. St. Francis desired to suffer spiritually and physically, through prayer and fasting similar to that of the lenten season, so as to take part in Christ’s own suffering and grow in deeper relationship with Jesus.

Every day leading up to the Feast Day of St. Michael the Archangel, September 29, we invite you to listen and pray the prayers in this playlist so that you too may find deeper intimacy with Our Lord Jesus Christ.
