#FridayFeeling #TodayIs the #FeastDay of #StHenry, German king and Holy Roman Emperor (973-1024), Patron #Saint of the #Childless & the #Disabled. "After the most blessed servant of God had been anointed king, he was not satisfied with the anxieties of his realm; so, in order to attain the crown of immortality, he determined to campaign for the King of all, for to serve him is to rule"–St Henry II. St Henry II shows that holiness is possible in a busy secular life. It is in doing our job that we become saints. "O God, whose abundant grace prepared Saint Henry to be raised by you in a wonderful way from the cares of earthly rule to heavenly realms, grant, we pray, through his intercession, that amid the uncertainties of this world we may hasten towards you with minds made pure. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen." – Collect for the feast of St Henry II, Holy Roman Emperor from 1002-1024.   Stained glass from St Mary's Basilica in Phoenix, AZ. #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Christian #Catholic #Catolica (at Saint Mary's Basilica)

Saint of the Day – July 13 – St King Henry *II – (972-1024) King and Holy Roman Emperor – Patron of the childless, of Dukes, of the handicapped and those rejected by Religious Order, of the Benedictine Oblates 

As German king and Holy Roman Emperor, Henry was a practical man of affairs. He was energetic in consolidating his rule. He crushed rebellions and feuds. On all sides he had to deal with drawn-out disputes so as to protect his frontiers. This involved him in a number of battles, especially in the south in Italy; he also helped Pope Benedict VIII quell disturbances in Rome. Always his ultimate purpose was to establish a stable peace in Europe. According to eleventh-century custom, Henry took advantage of his position and appointed as bishops men loyal to him. In his case, however, he avoided the pitfalls of this practice and actually fostered the reform of ecclesiastical and monastic life. He was canonized in 1146.
