The Catholic Leadership Puzzle Podcast

St. Anselm of Canterbury Novena Day 9 Prayers O my God, teach my heart where and how to seek You, where and how to find You. You are my God and You are my all and I have never seen You. You have made me and remade me, You have bestowed on me all the good things I possess, Still I do not know You. I have not yet done that for which I was made. Teach me to seek You. I cannot seek You unless You teach me or find You unless You show Yourself to me. Let me seek You in my desire, let me desire You in my seeking. Let me find You by loving You, let me love You when I find You. Amen. St. Anselm of Canterbury, pray for us. (Mention your requests here…) Say 1: Our Father… Say 1: Hail Mary… Say 1: Glory Be… Day 9 — “God of peace, grant me rest in trusting You.” Historical note: Saint Anselm’s prayers often conclude in quiet confidence, trusting the Lord to respond. Reflection : The novena ends in trustful repose. Saint Anselm teaches that faith ultimately leads to peace. We are not meant to strain endlessly but to rest in God’s truth. After seeking, desiring, and loving, we are invited to trust. God completes the work He begins.Prayer/Resolution: God of peace, grant me rest in trusting You. Amen.
