The Worship Quote of the Week for (09/02/1997):

That I May Know You and Love You Anselm served as Archbishop of Cantebury and is sometimes referred to as the "father of scholasticism." He may be most famous for his "ontological proof" - an attempt to prove by logic that God exists. Today's WORSHIP QUOTE OF THE WEEK comes from his book PROSLOGION. My God, I pray that I may so know you and love you that I may rejoice in you. And if I may not do so fully in this life let me go steadily on to the day when I come to that fullness . . . Meanwhile let my mind meditate on it let my heart love it let my mouth preach it let my soul hunger for it my flesh thirst for it and my whole being desire it until I enter into the joy of my Lord. - St. Anselm (1033-1109), from PROSLOGION, as found in EERDMANS' BOOK OF CHRISTIAN CLASSICS: A TREASURY OF CHRISTIAN WRITINGS THROUGH THE CENTURIES, compiled by Veronica Zundel, William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1985, p. 27. Have a great day, Chip Stam
