Lol I did in central California during the drought. And then it rained. And rained. Filled the reservoir. Filled it again. And again.... Then flooded the Tulare valley. Careful what you pray for I guess.
Beautiful story. Thank you Father heard this great saint first time. PLEASE is there a special prayer for St. Isidore would love to get it to promote him. God Bless. St Isidore pray for us.
Thank you Fr! I use to attend early morning Mass in Tampa/St Lawrence before going to work Fr Vanard ave beautiful/useful homilies every day - has been tougher on Central Coast NSW - daily Mass isn't set up here for working folks - please all yall pray for daily mass for working folks Thank you
We thank thee father for the harvest that I believe in as a consumers love for our heritages that exist in our livelihood. Humor and lightheatedness we gather in our prayer.
St. Isidore is my confirmation saint, he may not have been literate (as the vast majority of people in the Middle Ages were not) but he was nonetheless a very intelligent and wise man! To dedicate everyday of his life’s work in communion and meditation upon the Lord is the highest exercise of the intellect. We country folk are often looked down upon by city folk, who think in error, that because their lives are more complicated, their minds are too. They don’t know how much you can actually learn about the world by working the land. But St. Isidore, in his humility and dedication, is exalted! Pray for us!
Amen. Thank you so much for sharing the story of San Isidro el Labrador / Saint Isidore the farmer. Where I come from ( La Ceiba, Atlantida, Honduras ) we have a small Cathedral that is / was dedicated to him. Where I did my first Communion and Confirmation in the summer of 1992. I never heard the real story of Saint Isidore. Saint Isidore pray for us.
I think this saint is the same a spanish saint,patron os madrid the capital of Spain,because he was born in this location...we celebrate this fest other day,is very important in the catholic church in Spain...was born in 1082 in the area of Madrid..and his wife is also a saint,called Maria de la cabeza...here in Madrid ...i think is the same ...as we know Spain is the oldest or one of the oldest cristian country in the worl...but i don't undesrtan why many people ignore this fact...Here the real history of san ISIDRO LABRADOR.
Saint Isidro Labrador died in 1172 (he was born in 1082, 90 years of fruitful earthly existence and what remains). He was buried in front of the church of San Andrés, in a land that was used as a cemetery. He wrapped his body in a simple shroud and was placed face down in an earthen pit, without any coffin to protect the corpse. His grave was frequently flooded by rains (when they fell, we already know about the relative frequency of rainfall in Madrid) for 40 years. In 1212 the remains of the patron saint were exhumed and, surprise !: the body was intact, and that despite the humidity that the old bones had to endure. Another miracle to add to the long list of supernatural events surrounding the life and death of this great man (at least physically great he was, 1.80 m tall, there is nothing!). Something special must have this good man. San Isidro was uncorrupted. King Alfonso VIII himself, the brand new winner of the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa, was impressed. The monarch visited Madrid, whose council had contributed warriors to the Sierra Morena campaign, under the shield of the bear and the stars (without strawberry tree, which at that time was not incorporated into the coat of arms), and wanted to visit the remains of such a famous man, and he was petrified when he recognized in the features of the corpse those of the shepherd who had led his army in Sierra Morena before the encounter with the Almohads. As San Isidro had been dead for 40 years, the matter was interpreted as another miracle: the saint had risen to help the Christian arms to achieve victory over the hosts of the Media Luna. Something very typical in medieval Spain. In the legendary battle of Clavijo, the apostle Santiago himself, mounted on his white horse, cut the throat of more than one of the evil Agarenes. Things of Christian saints, so devoted to their parishioners. Returning to the matter of the royal visit to San Isidro, the King, grateful and amazed, built a chapel and donated a wooden chest to preserve the body of the deceased. Since then, Madrid considered him definitively, and after the support of the monarchy, his saint and his patron. And that he was not canonized until 1622. From then on, the incorrupt body of San Isidro was considered a relic capable of healing any evil. When the fields dried up after persistent droughts, the remains of him were taken out in procession and, hala!, It began to rain in abundance. The sick wanted to kiss the saint to heal, including monarchs and nobles. Everyone went crazy in a frantic race to get San Isidro by their side in bad times. Those who could took pieces of the poor corpse to see if that way they could heal. Felipe III had the suffered body moved in a litter from Madrid to Casarrubios de Monte (50 km away), where he worshiped it in his bedroom. Under the pillow of King Charles II, a tooth pulled from the saint was put to see if it healed, A lady took an arm of the saint under the ditto as a relic, although it was discovered before leaving the church, etc, etc, etc . From that day on, the arm was tied with a ribbon to the rest of the body. A lady of the Court of Isabel la Católica took the thumb of the saint's foot, which she tore off when she kissed him. In the end, she confessed to her macabre theft when the horses of her entourage denounced her, refusing to cross the Manzanares River, until the woman handed over the object of the robbery. Yet another miracle. Despite this multitude of mutilations and humiliations to the body of the old Labrador, the body has remained in relative good condition for 150 years in the Cathedral of San Isidro, until the Civil War of 1936. In July of that year, the church that guarded the remains of the patron saint of Madrid was burned, and the fire took away works of art and apparently, the remains of the saint. After the fire was put out, what was left was looted. It seemed that the bodies of San Isidro and Santa María de la Cabeza had been lost forever. But in another miracle boast, to which he has us so accustomed, he slyly, it did not happen that way. The bishop of the Madrid diocese, Leopoldo Eijo, anticipating the disastrous events that devastated the Spanish geography in these 3 years, had ordered the bodies to be hidden in a room that was sealed with bricks and mortar. When the war ended, the bodies were rescued. Currently the body of San Isidro is kept and well kept in a coffin ornamented with gold and silver in the collegiate church of San Isidro el Real, the old cathedral, at Calle Toledo, 37. In recent decades the Church exhibits very little to the public the body of the Labrador. In 1947 to pray for rain in the face of a devastating drought; in 1969, on the anniversary of the 350th anniversary of the beatification of San Isidro; in 1972, on the occasion of the eighth centenary of his death.
@@daisydupre4873 In looking into it further, it seems that this misunderstanding is based on multiple calendars. The Universal Church at this time uses a three year liturgical calendar, and has changed many of the traditional feast days for saints. The Fraternal Society of St Peter is one of several Latin Mass Catholic groups that uses the traditional one year liturgical cycle, along with the original feast days. They have permission to do this. Eastern Catholic Churches sometimes use their own calendar also. I suppose the one benefit to these confusing times in the Church is that it allows for two potential days of celebration of this great saint.
The new mass is valid. The church has said so. You can prefer the Latin mass, there’s a strong argument for it. But don’t confuse the liturgical abuses for the new mass. The new mass is normatively also supposed to use Latin, and the priest facing the congregation is not required simply allowed. It is a time of adjustment and as always there are problems, but don’t go beyond the pale and deny the Holy Mother Church and Her magesterium.
@@Bonsoirmonamie i AGREE! Jesus is still present in the Sacrament. If you can't get to a Latin Mass, the graces are still in the Novus Ordo. I prefer the Latin mass but there aren't any around. I would rather receive Jesus than not go to Mass at all.
I prefer the Latin Mass because of traditionality, but still attend the NO because Jesus is still present there. I would rather receive Him than nothing at all!
The New Order Mass is valid. If you cannot find a traditional daily Mass to attend I have a feeling God would still bless you for finding and attending a reverent daily Mass. You can pray the rosary or some other pious devotion during the Mass as a way to participate if you don't like responses.
St Isidore, bless our farmers that are experiencing economic troubles. Amen.
Amen. St. Isidore the Farmer, pray for us.
Amen! 🇻🇦✝️🇻🇦
The BEST SAINT ever for the farmers and their fields. St. Isidore pray for us.
Lol I did in central California during the drought. And then it rained. And rained. Filled the reservoir. Filled it again. And again.... Then flooded the Tulare valley. Careful what you pray for I guess.

It would be great if there were valid masses to attend . Lets not start on the novus ordo { new order}.
Pray, fast and penance will provide what you need.

The Traditional Mass is powerful, but not the New Mass. I am forced to attend the carelessly, irreverentialy offered Mass. I have no choice.
