Saint Isidore the Farmer

San Isidore the FarmerHonest to goodness, some say that while Isidore prayed, angels took care of his field. The truth is that Isidore was not a slacker and he worked honestly. He was a great friend of God at all times in his daily life. This 13th-century Spanish worker is the patron saint of peasants and migrant workers. His wife, María de la Cabeza, is also a saint.

Your turn:

  • How much effort do you put into your work?
  • Are you honest in dedicating the hours you work and giving it the best of yourself?

Prayer

Loving God, I give you thanks for supporting me when I get tired or disillusioned at work. I ask you to give me the strength that I need to always give my best in all my projects. May the example of Saint Isidore be my guide and encourage me to always be mindful of you in whatever I might do. I offer you this prayer through Christ, your son, who never walked away from you. Amen. Saint Isidore, Pray for us.
