15. Juli
Hl. Heinrich, Kaiser und Bekenner
Mittwoch nach dem 7. Sonntag nach Pfingsten
Am 15. Juli feiert der traditionelle römische Kalender (1962) das Fest des hl. Heinrichs, römisch-deutscher Kaiser und Bekenner. Heinrich II., geboren gegen Ende des 10. Jahrhunderts, entstammt dem bayerischen Adelsgeschlecht der Ottonen und wurde im Jahr 1002 zum König des Ostfrankenreichs sowie 1014 von Papst Benedikt VIII. in Rom zum Kaiser des Heiligen Römischen Reiches gekrönt. In seiner Regentschaft verband Heinrich das Streben nach christlich-königlicher Gerechtigkeit mit der tiefen Sorge um die Erneuerung der Kirche und festigte das Bündnis von Kaisertum und Papsttum auf Grundlage des Gottesgnadentums. Als Förderer der Kirchenreform unterstützte er Klöster und gründete zahlreiche Bistümer, was ihm den Ruf eines frommen und gerechten Herrschers einbrachte. Privat lebte er asketisch, zeigte sich sehr wohltätig und führte mit seiner Gattin Kunigunde eine vorbildlich ehelos-asketische Ehe. Bereits bald nach seinem Tod verehrte das gläubige Volk Heinrich als Heiligen, und Papst Eugen III. sprach ihn 1146 heilig. Sein liturgisches Fest wurde allen deutschsprachigen Diözesen bald verbindlich und fand 1631 Eingang in den allgemeinen römischen Kalender. Die traditionelle Liturgie ehrt ihn als Beispiel für einen heiligmäßigen weltlichen Herrscher, dessen Einsatz für Kirche und Reich bis heute als vorbildlich gilt. Im Kalender der traditionellen römischen Liturgie wird Heinrich als "Kaiser und Bekenner" besonders wegen seines persönlichen Glaubenszeugnisses und seine Rolle als Förderer des katholischen Lebens gefeiert.

Eccli 31:8-11
Beátus vir, qui invéntus est sine mácula, et qui post aurum non ábiit, nec sperávit in pecúnia et thesáuris. Quis est hic, et laudábimus eum? fecit enim mirabília in vita sua. Qui probátus est in illo, et perféctus est, erit illi glória ætérna: qui potuit tránsgredi, et non est transgréssus: fácere mala, et non fecit: ídeo stabilíta sunt bona illíus in Dómino, et eleemósynas illíus enarrábit omnis ecclésia sanctórum.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus
Sir 31:8-11
Happy the man found without fault, who turns not aside after gain, nor puts his trust in money nor in treasures! Who is he, that we may praise him? For he has done wonders in his life. He has been tested by gold and come off safe, and this remains his glory forever; he could have sinned but did not, could have done evil but would not, so that his possessions are secure in the Lord, and the assembly of the Saints shall recount his alms.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Luc 12:35-40
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis: Sint lumbi vestri præcíncti, et lucernæ ardéntes in mánibus vestris, et vos símiles homínibus exspectántibus dóminum suum, quando revertátur a núptiis: ut, cum vénerit et pulsáverit, conféstim apériant ei. Beáti servi illi, quos, cum vénerit dóminus, invénerit vigilántes: amen, dico vobis, quod præcínget se, et fáciet illos discúmbere, et tránsiens ministrábit illis. Et si vénerit in secúnda vigília, et si in tértia vigília vénerit, et ita invénerit, beáti sunt servi illi. Hoc autem scitóte, quóniam, si sciret paterfamílias, qua hora fur veníret, vigiláret útique, et non síneret pérfodi domum suam. Et vos estóte paráti, quia, qua hora non putátis, Fílius hóminis véniet.

℟. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
Luke 12:35-40
At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, Let your loins be girt about and your lamps burning, and you yourselves like men waiting for their master’s return from the wedding; so that when he comes and knocks, they may straight-way open to him. Blessed are those servants whom the master, on his return, shall find watching. Amen I say to you, he will gird himself, and will make them recline at table, and will come and serve them. And if he comes in the second watch, and if in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those servants! But of this be assured, that if the householder had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would certainly have watched, and not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, because at an hour that you do not expect, the Son of Man is coming.
