Today we celebrate St. Isadore the Farmer. Many implications can be found in a simple farmer achieving sainthood. Physical labor has dignity; sainthood does not stem from status; contemplation does not depend on learning; the simple life is conducive to holiness and happiness. ... Perhaps the truth that emerges from this is, if you have your spiritual self in order, your earthly commitments will fall into order also.
