Prosper Louis Pascal Guéranger (pronounced [pʁɔspe ɡeʁɑ̃ʒe]; 4 April 1805, in Sablé-sur-Sarthe, France – 30 January 1875, in Solesmes, France) was a French priest and Benedictine monk, who served for nearly 40 years as the abbot of the monastery of Solesmes (which he founded among the ruins of a former priory at Solesmes). Through the new Abbey of Solesmes, he became the founder of the French Benedictine Congregation (now the Solesmes Congregation), which re-established Benedictine monastic life in France after it had been wiped out by the French Revolution. Guéranger was the author of The Liturgical Year, a popular commentary which covers every day of the Catholic Church's liturgical cycles in 15 volumes. Read more on Wikipedia
