BLD RODARBAL ORDISI NAS

Isidore the Farm Labourer, also known as Isidore the Farmer
(Spanish: San Isidro Labrador) (c. 1070 – May 15, 1130), was a
Spanish farmworker known for his piety toward the poor and
animals.

The Spanish profession name labrador comes from the verb
labrar ("to till", "to plow" or, in a broader sense, "to work the
land"). Hence, to refer to him as simply a "laborer" is a poor
translation of the Spanish labrador as it makes no reference to
the essential farming aspect of his work and his identity. His
real name was Isidro de Merlo y Quintana.

Isidore was born in Madrid, in about the year 1070, to poor but
very devout parents, and was christened Isidore from the name
of their patron, St. Isidore of Seville. Isidore spent his life as a
hired hand in the service of the wealthy Madrilenian landowner
Juan de Vargas on a farm in the city's vicinity. He shared what
he had, even his meals, with the poor. Juan de Vargas would
later make him bailiff of his entire estate of Lower Caramanca.

Isidore married Maria Torribia, known as Santa María de la
Cabeza in Spain; she has never been canonized, pending
confirmation by Pope Francis. Isidore and Maria had one son.
On one occasion, their son fell into a deep well and, at the
prayers of his parents, the water of the well is said to have risen
miraculously to the level of the ground, bringing the child with it.
In thanksgiving, Isidore and Maria then vowed sexual abstinence
and lived in separate houses. Their son later died in his youth.
Isidore died on May 15, 1130,[ at his birthplace close to Madrid,
although the only official source places his death in the year
1172.

Miracle stories

In the morning before going to work, Isidore would usually
attend Mass at one of the churches in Madrid. One day, his
fellow farmworkers complained to their master that Isidore was
always late for work in the morning. Upon investigation, the
master found Isidore at prayer while an angel was doing the
plowing for him.

On another occasion, his master saw an angel plowing on either
side of him - so that Isidore's work was equal to that of three of
his fellow field workers. Isidore is also said to have brought
back to life his master's deceased daughter - and to have
caused a fountain of fresh water to burst from the dry earth to
quench his master's thirst.

One snowy day, when going to the mill with wheat to be ground,
he passed a flock of wood-pigeons scratching vainly for food on
the hard surface of the frosty ground. Taking pity on the poor
animals, he poured half of his sack of precious wheat upon the
ground for the birds, despite the mocking of witnesses. When he
reached the mill, however, the bag was full, and the wheat, when
it was ground, produced double the expected amount of flour.

Isidore's wife, Maria, always kept a pot of stew on the fireplace
in their humble home as Isidore would often bring home anyone
who was hungry. One day he brought home more hungry people
than usual. After she served many of them, Maria told him that
there simply was no more stew in the pot. He insisted that she
check the pot again, and she was able to spoon out enough
stew to feed them all.

On April 2, 1212, after torrential rains had exhumed cadavers
from cemeteries in Madrid, his body was discovered in an
apparent state of incorruptibility.

He is said to have appeared to Alfonso VIII of Castile, and to
have shown him the hidden path by which he surprised the
Moors and gained the victory of Las Navas de Tolosa, in 1212.
[4] When King Philip III of Spain was cured of a deadly disease
after touching the relics of the saint, the king replaced the old
reliquary with a costly silver one and instigated the process of
his beatification.[7] Throughout history, other members of the
royal family would seek curative powers from the saint.

Patronage

Saint Isidore is widely venerated as the patron saint of farmers,
peasants, day laborers, and agriculture in general, as well as
bricklayers
