From Sin to Sanctity
From Sin to Sanctity
The Prayers and Meditations of St. Anselm
by St Anselm of Canterbury
St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033–1109) helped inaugurate the Age of Scholasticism, a period of Christian cultural and philosophical rebirth during the High Middle Ages, deepening the Augustinian quest to know both God and His creation rather than God alone. Saint Anselm’s spiritual guidance was widely sought after and helped many souls along their journey to sanctity.
From Sin to Sanctity, translated by TAN Books, is a collection of prayers and meditations St. Anselm composed in response to an inquiry by a pious woman named Adelaide. As St. Anselm states, he wrote these prayers for Adelaide so that her heart “might tend toward a more burning charity of God, and that through the rigorous introspection the prayers demand, she may more despise her sins, by desiring to grow more humble, and by humbling, experience the terror of her final judgment and that such a moment of distress might result in groans and tears.” The devout soul who truly prays these prayers to God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and select apostles and saints, finds that he must humbly acknowledge how he can do nothing without Jesus.
Each prayer within these pages is accompanied by a brief introduction and followed by probing questions for your own spiritual meditation and introspection. This deluxe edition was made to withstand time, as its contents have, with leatherette binding, gilded pages, and a beautifully designed, gold-foiled cover. Like Adelaide, and many before her, we can be challenged and edified by the wisdom of St. Anselm contained in these prayers and meditations.

The Passion of Christ - Through the Eyes of Mary
by St Anselm of Canterberry and others
“As I stood at the foot of the cross, this pure white garment became saturated with the streams of crimson blood which gushed from His precious body!” —Our Lady to Saint Anselm
There is no human person who loved Christ more than Mary. And there is no greater act of love than Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. In these pages, you will find two of the most stirring revelations of Christ’s passion and death ever recorded by Doctors of the Church—Saint Anselm, the Magnificent Doctor, along with writings attributed to Saint Bernard, the Mellifluous Doctor. These private revelations given by Our Lady will enhance one’s prayer life while drawing one deeper into the passion narratives of the Gospels. But what makes this book unique is the heartfelt dialogue between Our Lady and her spiritual sons. Those who read this book will be profoundly moved to not only weep for their sins but to weep for Him whose Blood was completely emptied for our salvation.
The Mother of Sorrows is the woman of the interior life who leads us to the Master of the interior life, the Man of Sorrows. There is no better way to contemplate the passion of Christ than through the eyes of Mary, she who loved Him above everything, she who loved Him with a mother’s heart, and she who stood firmly when everyone else fled.

The Glories of Heaven: The Supernatural Gifts that Await Body & Soul in Paradise
The Glories of Heaven: The Supernatural Gifts that Await Body & Soul in Paradise
by St Anselm of Canterbury
“And yet the visible sun, as splendid as it is, is a mere created object, and is therefore certainly less radiant than the divine splendor, and less beautiful than the glory of the God Who fashioned it. It consequently follows that the bodies of the saints—suffused with this glory of God—will surpass the beauty and radiance of the sun itself.” —Saint Anselm
The great Doctor of the Church and Benedictine monk Saint Anselm has assembled one of the greatest books ever written on heaven. Relying on his profound insights from prayer and his deep love for Sacred Scripture, Anselm systematically describes various aspects of the happiness of heaven: the beauty of the bodies of the blessed, the velocity of the glorified bodies of the saints in heaven, the strength of the blessed, the pleasures of heaven, and much more. At the same time, Saint Anselm does not shy away from the reality of hell and its unending torments. Nothing spurs the soul to repentance like the thought of being eternally separated from God.

To obtain our celestial homeland, Saint Anselm instructs the reader to meditate daily on the day of judgment and the blessings of heaven. Saint Anselm, who later became the archbishop of Canterbury, exhorts the faithful to daily conversion and heartfelt prayers. It is a book that will make you long for heaven with all your heart and slowly detach you from this world, where “the pleasures, joys, and honors of this mortal life are but brief and ephemeral.”
