St. Isidore of Seville (560?-636)
The 76 years of Isidore's life were a time of conflict and growth for the
Church in Spain. The Visigoths had invaded the land a century and a half
earlier and shortly before Isidore's birth they set up their own capital.
They were Arians-Christians who said Christ was not God. Thus Spain was
split in two: One people (Catholic Romans) struggled with another (Arian
Goths). Isidore reunited Spain, making it a center of culture and learning,
a teacher and guide for other European countries whose culture was also
threatened by barbarian invaders. Born in Cartagena of a family that
included three other saints, he was educated (severely) by his elder
brother, whom he succeeded as bishop of Seville.

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad. ~Psalm 118

Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb
first, and he saw and believed. For they did not yet understand the
Scripture that he had to rise from the dead. ~John 20:1-9

Life has overcome death. Light has overcome the darkness.  Jesus Christ is
Risen. The hopes of so many have been fulfilled. And we are given the gift
of a life that will never end, of forgiveness of our sins and the promise of
the Holy Spirit to help us follow God's call every day of our lives!
Alleluia!

.=: P R A Y E R    F O R    T H E    D A Y :=.

I pray that I may rejoice in the Resurrection of my Lord.  I pray that I may
help carry on His work by using his gifts to help me follow in His
footsteps.

Fr. Pat, for the continued grace, strength and Love to reflect Gods love to
us all. that we too may follow his example

We pray for people suffering from natural disaster, especially those in
Haiti and Chile. We pray for great respect for life from natural conception
to natural death.  We pray for an end of terrorism and war, for the safety
of our troops and their families at home.

May God Bless you and those you love, and keep you safe!
