Saint Henry the Emperor holding a church model

Saint life from Butler

Wednesday, July 15th

St. Henry the Emperor

Henry is remembered as a ruler who tried to keep real imperial power under God. The wars and the politics are not hidden, but a Christian emperor emerges who used office for reform, order, and the Church rather than simply for himself.
