SUMMARY:Saint Anselm
DESCRIPTION:Saint Anselm\nSaint of the Day for April 21\n(1033 – April 21\, 1109)\nhttps://www.franciscanmedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/SODApr21.mp3\nSaint Anselm’s Story\nIndifferent toward religion as a young man\, Anselm became one of the Church’s greatest theologians and leaders. He received the title “Father of Scholasticism” for his attempt to analyze and illumine the truths of faith through the aid of reason. \nAt 15\, Anselm wanted to enter a monastery\, but was refused acceptance because of his father’s opposition. Twelve years later\, after careless disinterest in religion and years of worldly living\, he finally fulfilled his desire to be a monk. He entered the monastery of Bec in Normandy\, was elected prior three years later\, and 15 years later\, was unanimously chosen abbot. \nConsidered an original and independent thinker\, Anselm was admired for his patience\, gentleness\, and teaching skill. Under his leadership\, the Abbey of Bec became a monastic school\, influential in philosophical and theological studies. \nDuring these years\, at the community’s request\, Anselm began publishing his theological works\, comparable to those of Saint Augustine. His best-known work is the book Cur Deus Homo (“Why God Became Man”). \nAgainst his will\, Anselm was appointed archbishop of Canterbury in 1093\, at age 60. His appointment was opposed at first by England’s King William Rufus and later accepted. Rufus persistently refused to cooperate with efforts to reform the Church. \nAnselm finally went into voluntary exile until Rufus died in 1100. He was then recalled to England by Rufus’ brother and successor\, Henry I. Disagreeing fearlessly with Henry over the king’s insistence on investing England’s bishops\, Anselm spent another three years in exile in Rome. \nHis care and concern extended to the very poorest people. Opposing the slave trade\, Anselm obtained from the national council at Westminster the passage of a resolution prohibiting the sale of human beings. \n\nReflection\nLike every true follower of Christ\, Anselm had to carry his cross\, especially in the form of opposition and conflict with those in political control. Though personally a mild and gentle man and a lover of peace\, he would not back off from conflict and persecution when principles were at stake.
