Dear Lord,
Thank You for the protection You have provided to the Farmers and their lands.
Thank You for watching over those who provide food for the rest of us.
Prayer to St. Isidore
Dear Isidore,
you know how normal it is to cultivate the land for you were employed as a farm laborer for the greater part of your life. Although you received God’s help materially through Angels in the field, all farmers are aided spiritually to see the wonders God has strewn on this earth. Encourage all farmers in their labors and help them to feed numerous people. Amen.

Hymn for the Novena to St. Isidore
O Lord, as You have made the earth,
To man and beast have given birth
Have given sun and rain that thence
The soil might give them sustenance:
We beg You make us willing to
Perform the law we get from You,
That work of ours and grace of Yours
May bring the increase that endures.
Through Jesus Christ let this be done
Who lives and reigns, our Lord, Your Son,
Whom with the Spirit we adore,
One God with You forevermore.
**Let Nothing Disturb You
Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.
Patience,
Obtains all things,
Whoever has God
Lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

España: 1515—1582)**
