Saint Anselm 2023
Hello St. Mary Magdalene,
Happy feast of St. Anselm a bishop and Doctor of the Church who gave us this beautiful prayer:
"O Lord, you are my Lord and my God, yet I have never seen you. You have created and redeemed me, and have conferred on me all my goods, yet I know you not. I was created in order that I might know you, but I have not yet attained the goal of my creation. I confess, O Lord, and give you thanks, that you have created me in your image, so that I might be mindful of you and contemplate you and love you. I seek not to understand in order that I may believe, but rather, I believe in order that I may understand. Amen."
Also, please pray for me these next two weeks as I go on my pilgrimage to Portugal and Spain with a visit to Fatima! Know that I am praying for you too during this pilgrimage.
God bless,
Fr. Chris
