A CD featuring the voice of Pope Francis over a selection of different music has been release in Italy.
'Wake Up' is a collection of 11 tracks, including pop and rock music, holy chants and parts of the pontiff's speeches.
The Holy Father deliveres excerpts of his speeches in multiple languages as well as sacred hymns.
One song, 'Wake Up! Go! Go! Forward!' features the Pope speaking to a South Korean audience in English in 2014 mixed with synths, trumpeting horns and electric guitars.
The Pope says: "The Lord speaks of a responsibility that the Lord gives you, It is a duty to be vigilant, Not to allow the pressures, the temptations and the sins to dull our sensibility of the beauty of holiness."
The Vatican-approved CD will be available worldwide at a later date.
A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
