MAY 15 IS THE FEAST OF ST. ISIDORE THE FARMER
Feast of Saint Isidore the Farmer — patron saint of farmers, laborers, agricultural workers, and the people of Madrid.
O humble Saint Isidore, your life reminds us that holiness can be found even in the simplest and most ordinary work. Though you spent your days laboring in the fields, your heart was always lifted to God, especially through your deep love for the Holy Mass.
Teach us to value the Holy Eucharist as you did. Inspire us to seek God first before all our daily tasks and responsibilities. Help us to recognize that every honest work, when offered to the Lord with love and faith, becomes a pleasing sacrifice in His sight.
May we never grow tired of coming to Mass, where Christ becomes truly present in the Holy Eucharist — Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity — nourishing and strengthening our souls.
Guide us to offer our joys, hardships, labor, and sacrifices to God through the hands of the priest during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. May our daily work lead us not only to earthly provision, but also to eternal blessings in heaven.
Good Saint Isidore, bless our homes, our work, our fields, and all who labor tirelessly each day. Pray that we may remain faithful to God in both prayer and work, until we share with you the reward of everlasting life.
Amen.
