Saint Heimrad died in Germany in the year 1019, and so many miracles occurred at his tomb when people asked for his intercession that he became known as a saint. The details of his life appear to have been collected after his death.
Some of the stories about Heimrad’s life may have been embroidered upon, but what seems most certain is that he made many pilgrimages to holy sites when he was a younger man before becoming a Benedictine monk and hermit. Since he was essentially a homeless beggar as he traveled on these pilgrimages, some thought he was a crazy homeless beggar. But the miracles tell us otherwise.
Saint Heimrad, show me how to expect miracles from our Lord.
