Saint Anselm of Canterbury, monk, abbot, archbishop and Doctor of the Church, gave Christian thought a phrase it has never surrendered: faith seeking understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFaith Seeking Understanding\u003c\/em\u003e gathers Anselm's own prayers and meditations, in the faithful public domain English of 1872, into a fourteen-day retreat. Each day sets a theme of the interior life beside the saint's own words, a passage of Sacred Scripture, a space to dwell, and a prayer. The reader is carried from being made for God, through the compassion of Christ and the mystery of the Incarnation, to the royal way of the Cross and the blessed vision of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInside\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnselm's prayers and meditations, arranged as a fourteen-day retreat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor each day: a theme, the saint's own words, Sacred Scripture in the Douay-Rheims, a place to dwell, and a prayer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA closing Treasury of the Prayers of St. Anselm, and a fourteen-part journal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull colour plates: four original Sanctified Souls paintings with public domain masters, and an original cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaint Anselm of Canterbury (1033–1109), Doctor of the Church\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTranslated from the Latin by “M.
