St. Isidore, you lived a humble life working the land.
You attended Holy Mass each morning, which jeopardized the employment that allowed your family to eat.

Pray that as our heart grows in love and humility we may be a living sign of Jesus to those around us.
As a farmer who used his hands to bring forth nourishing food, please ask Jesus to bless us with a bountiful harvest.

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
