finds his true calling in
service\, love\, and empathy\, in the holy
sacraments\, the
rite of confession\, and the celebration of the Ma
ss\, all of
which are aids in counteracting the demonic forces in th
at
autumn of 1920.&rdquo\; Starring Shia Lebeouf who converted to Catholicism after making this movie. You do not want to

St. Isidore\, May 15th
St. Isidore was born at Madrid\, Spain\, in the latter half of the <
br />12th century. For the greater part of his life he was employed as
a laborer on a farm outside the city. Many marvelous happen-
ings
accompanied his lifelong work in the fields and continued
long after
his holy death. He was favored with celestial visions
and\, it is s
aid\, the angels sometimes helped him in his work in
the fields. St.
Isidore was canonized in 1622.
In 1947\, he was proclaim
ed the patron of the National Rural
Conference in the United States.
He is the patron of farmers\, and
his feast day is May 15th.
Prayer: God\, through the intercession of St. Isidore\, the hol
y
Farmer\, grant that we may overcome all feelings of pride. May
we always serve You with that humility which pleases You\,
throug
h his merits and example.
You are invited to join us on a road trip t

Edmeston\, NY on Thursday\, May 22\, 2025.
