Liborius Wagner (5 December 1593 – 9 December 1631) was a German Roman Catholic priest. He administered throughout his pastoral mission in Würzburg and was killed "in odium fidei" (in hatred of the faith). He performed a wide range of charitable acts and he was more than willing to - at the time of his death - shed his blood for his beliefs and for his fellow Christians.
In recognition of his murder Pope Paul VI beatified him on 24 March 1974.[1][2]
