The Devotions of Saint Anselm

St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109) was an Italian Benedictine monk, abbot and theologian. He was the archbishop of Canterbury from 1093 to 1109, and was declared a saint soon after his death. Later in 1720 he was pronounced a doctor of the church.

These meditations and prayers were written around 1075. They are personal meditative

reflections on the life of Christ, and on God. Also included are his letters of spiritual counsel and his treatise on the existence of God.
