Date – Friday, April 21st - 2023 – St. Anselm of Canterbury

St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-c.1109) was a Benedictine Abbot who became Archbishop of Canterbury. He was intrepid in his combat for the Faith and the defense of the Church against King William II, also known as William Rufus. St. Anselm was reluctant to accept the position of Archbishop of Canterbury due to the problems that would arise from the king's stubborn encroachment into the affairs of the Church. He argued that he was barely able to bear the load of an entire church, let alone mingle in temporal affairs. The Bishops responded that they would take care of the temporal affairs, and Anselm raised new arguments that he could not abandon his many obligations. The King, gravely ill, urged him to accept, warning that his refusal would result in the king's death. Those present accused Anselm of cowardice, and a Crosier was placed in his hand. As he held it, they shouted, "Long live the Bishop!" and sang the Te Deum. This event illustrates the struggle between the Church and temporal power, with Anselm's reluctance highlighting the tension between the two.

St. Anselm of Canterbury, Pray for us.

Veni Sancte Spiritus
COME, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and kindle in them the fire of Thy love.
V. Send forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created
R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
Oremus:
O GOD, Who taught the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant that, by the gift of the same Spirit, we may be always truly wise, and ever rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
