       The Great Faith of Saint Isidore the Farmer

I
     sidore has become the patron of farmers and rural             Isidore had deep religious instincts. He rose early in the
     communities. In particular, he is the patron of Madrid,       morning to go to church and spent many a holiday
     Spain, and of the United States National Rural Life           devoutly visiting the churches of Madrid and surrounding
     Conference.                                                   areas.

When he was barely old enough to wield a hoe, Isidore
entered the service of John de Vergas, a wealthy landowner
from Madrid, and worked faithfully on his estate outside
the city for the rest of his life. He married a young woman
as simple and upright as himself who also became a saint—
Maria de la Cabeza.

They had one son and they named him Illan. Legend has it
that when Illan was a toddler, he fell into a deep well and
there was no way to get him out. Isidore and Maria knelt
together and joined hands in prayer and the well slowly
filled, lifting Illan to the top so he could be saved. His mom
and dad believed God had given them a miracle to save
their son.

                        In thanksgiving for the miracle
                        they vowed to remain celibate for
                        the rest of their lives.
                                                                   All day long, as he walked behind the plow, he communed
                                                                   with God. His devotion, one might say, became a problem,
                                                                   for his fellow workers sometimes complained that he often
                                                                   showed up late because of lingering in church too long.
They were truly people of great faith because when Illan
died not long after, they never doubted God for a moment           He was known for his love of the poor, and there are
or went back on their vows.                                        accounts of Isidore’s supplying them miraculously with
                                                                   food. He had a great concern for the proper treatment of
                                                                   animals.
