El 13 de julio, la Iglesia Cat\u00f3lica celebra la fiesta de San Enrique II, el rey alem\u00e1n que lider\u00f3 y defendi\u00f3 el Imperio Romano de Europa a principios del primer milenio. <\/p>\n

Enrique naci\u00f3 en 973, hijo de Enrique, duque de Baviera, y de la princesa Gisela de Borgo\u00f1a, en el pueblo de Hildesheim, Baviera. Durante su juventud, recibi\u00f3 educaci\u00f3n y gu\u00eda espiritual de un obispo que tambi\u00e9n lleg\u00f3 a ser santo: San Wolfgang de Ratisbona. Esto tuvo un gran impacto en Enrique e influy\u00f3 en su reinado. <\/p>\n

Tras la muerte de su primo Ot\u00f3n III en 1002, Enrique le sucedi\u00f3 como rey. El Papa Benedicto VIII lo coron\u00f3 Emperador del Sacro Imperio Romano Germ\u00e1nico en 1014. <\/p>\n

Durante su reinado, Enrique comparti\u00f3 su fe reconstruyendo iglesias que hab\u00edan sido destruidas, construyendo monasterios y apoy\u00e1ndolos tanto con dinero como con tierras. El rey tambi\u00e9n ayud\u00f3 a los pobres haciendo generosas contribuciones para su alivio.<\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan los historiadores, muchas personas se comprometieron con Dios y a seguir la Regla de San Benito uni\u00e9ndose a famosos monasterios. Enrique fue uno de ellos. La tradici\u00f3n afirma que quer\u00eda convertirse en benedictino y vivi\u00f3 como oblato.<\/p>\n

Los oblatos benedictinos son hombres y mujeres, tanto laicos como ordenados, que buscan a Dios esforz\u00e1ndose por ser santos en su vida cotidiana, en su familia y en su lugar de trabajo. Los oblatos ofrecen sus vidas a Dios a trav\u00e9s de la oraci\u00f3n y el servicio, y participan fielmente en la vida lit\u00fargica y sacramental de la Iglesia. <\/p>\n

Enrique mostr\u00f3 tal amor y veneraci\u00f3n por los benedictinos que fue declarado patr\u00f3n de los oblatos benedictinos tras su canonizaci\u00f3n por el Papa P\u00edo X. <\/p>\n

En 1006, Enrique fund\u00f3 la sede de Bamberg y construy\u00f3 su catedral. Fue consagrada por el Papa Benedicto VIII en 1020. Durante este tiempo, Enrique tambi\u00e9n estableci\u00f3 un monasterio en Bamberg y apoy\u00f3 las reformas iniciadas por los monjes de Cluny en Francia.<\/p>\n

Durante los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os de su vida, Enrique sufri\u00f3 una enfermedad grave y otra dolencia que le dej\u00f3 la pierna izquierda lisiada. Encontr\u00f3 fuerza en la oraci\u00f3n durante estos tiempos dif\u00edciles. Muri\u00f3 cerca de Gotinga, Alemania, el 13 de julio de 1024, a la edad de 51 a\u00f1os, a causa de una infecci\u00f3n urinaria cr\u00f3nica. Fue enterrado en la Catedral de Bamberg.<\/p>\n

El Papa Eugenio III canoniz\u00f3 a Enrique en 1146.<\/p>\n
