The fear of the LORD leads
to life:
Then one rests
content, untouched by trouble. - Prov 19:23
"Realize above all that you are in God's
presence.
Empty yourself completely and sit
waiting,
content with the
grace of God,
like a chick that tastes nothing and eats
nothing
except what its mother gives
it."

Isidore
attended Holy Mass every morning which caused him to come to work late. Late,
though he was, his plowing was nevertheless accomplished by angels that resulted
in three times more productivity. His co-workers and his boss witnessed such
miraculous events and showed him great respect. He often spent holidays on
pilgrimage to local shrines.
He
died May 15, 1130, and was declared a saint in 1622 with Ignatius of Loyola,
Francis Xavier, Teresa of Avila and Philip Neri. Together, the group is known in
Spain as “the five saints.”
St Isidore,
pray for us!
In India, for monsoon to begin on time, prayer for rains through the intercession of St. Isidore, the farmer will begin from today. :)
