In the monastery we celebrate
the feast of Saint Anselm today. One of the things I like about this feast is
that the antiphons we use for the Divine Office are particularly beautiful.
Many of them come directly from St. Anselm’s writings, and each is suitable
food for meditation. I offer you the best of the lot:
“My Lord and my God who made me
and late remade me, my soul longs for you.”
“From what generous love, from
what loving generosity God’s compassion flows out to us.”
“Trust in God, for I am
confident that the Lord will answer all your needs.”
“My God, I pray that I may so
know and love you that I may rejoice in your forever.”
“O Christian soul, restored from
the weight of death and redeemed by the blood of Christ from bondage, take heed
and remember you are risen.”
“Enter into your soul’s inner
chamber, and seek God with all your heart.”
“Hope of my heart, strength of
my soul, help of my weakness! By your powerful kindness, O Lord, complete what
in my weakness I attempt.”
God bless you!
