Almighty God, who didst raise up thy servant Anselm to teach the Church of his day to understand its faith in thine eternal Being, perfect justice, and saving mercy: Provide thy Church in every age with devout and learned scholars and teachers, that we may be able to give a reason for the hope that is in us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Happy feast of St Anselm. He was one of the great English saints who was Archbishop of Canterbury just after the Normal Conquest. A brilliant scholar and courageous pastor. The Wikipedia article is comprehensive.https://t.co/vkkSpdY4Uf pic.twitter.com/Dnn1YeWju9
