SAINT ANSELM
Bishop and Doctor of the Church
Anselm (c. 1033-1109), an Italian, studied at the Abbey of Bec in Normandy, and there became a monk. Anselm was an original and profound thinker and because of his writings he is considered the father of Scholasticism. He later became archbishop of Canterbury in England. He suffered much at the hands of Kings William II and Henry I, who persisted in encroaching on the spiritual jurisdiction belonging to the Church alone.

PRAYER
O God, may blessed Anselm intercede for us in heaven as he once instructed Your faithful on earth and directed them in the way of eternal salvation. Through Our Lord . . .
