Story of a Saint: Saint Isidore the Farmer

How do you go from being a devout farmer your entire life to achieving sainthood? Saint Isidore, patron saint of Madrid, farmers, and laborers everywhere shows us how a simple life is conducive to a life of holiness and happiness.

He had a deep love for God, people in need of a good meal, and a great concern for the proper treatment of animals. Add in angel helpers, disappearing oxen, and a pot that never runs out of stew, and you have quite the saint to hear about!
