The fear of the LORD leads to life:
Then one rests content,
untouched by trouble. - Prov 19:23
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 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.”

St Isidore, pray for us!
TODAY: Day 2
Novena to the Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful,
and enkindle in them the fire of Your love.
Send forth Your Spirit, and they shall be created,
And You shall renew the face of the earth.
O God, Who by the light of the Holy Spirit,
did instruct the hearts of Your faithful,
grant that by that same Holy Spirit,
we may be truly wise and ever rejoice
in His consolation, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
