St. Henry was born in Bavaria in 972 to the Duke of Bavaria and his wife, Gisella, who was the daughter of the King of Burgundy. He was not one who sought glory for himself but sought in all things, the greater glory of God. The humility and spirit of justice of the Saint were equal to his zeal for religion. He was most watchful over the welfare of the Church and exerted his zeal for the maintenance of ecclesiastical discipline through the instrumentality of the Bishops. Both he and his wife, St. Cunegundes, lived in perpetual chastity, to which they had bound themselves by vow. He is the patron saint of the childless, of Dukes, of the handicapped and those rejected by Religious Order.
