Content with grace...

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." 

St. Romuald

Founder Camaldolese Order

 

St Isidore the Farmer

Spain ~ 1070-1130

Patron of farmers

Incorrupt

FEAST DAY - May 15

His wife is also a canonized Saint -

St Maria (Torribia) de la Cabeza

 

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.”
