St. Anselm
Let me begin by extending my hope that you all had a wonderful Easter Week! I know I did. 
And off to today’ saint — St. Anselm.
St. Anselm was born of noble parentage in Piedmont about the year 1033. At the age of 27, St. Anselm adopted the monastic state in the monastery of Bec, studied under Lanfranc, was made Prior in 1063, and Abbot in 1078.
In the year 1093, St. Anslem succeeded his old master, Lanfranc, as Archbishop of Canterbury. His resistance to the unjust measures of King William Rufus drew upon him the anger of that monarch.
In the years 1097-98, he made a voyage to Rome, and spent some time in a monastery of Calabria, where he composeda work on the Incarnation. In the same year he assisted at the Council of Bari, and by his prayers prevented the Pope from excommunicating the King of England.
St. Anselm continued traveling, not returning to his See until the death of King Rufus in 1100.
He returned peacefully to our LORD in the year 1109.
LORD God, You endowed St. Anselm with heavenly doctrine. Through his help, may we faithfully keep that teaching and profess it in our daily condect.
Amen.
