ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL
Saints celebrated on the 4th of April
SAINT ISIDORE, BISHOP AND DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH
Saint Isidore was born in Seville about 560 and appointed Bishop of Seville in 601. Isidore convoked various synods, notably the fourth Council of Toledo in 633, for the good government of the Church in Spain. He wrote a great deal, and was very concerned with the education of young people, founding a school which was much ahead of its time. He died in 636.
PRAYER:
Lord,
hear the prayers we offer in commemoration of Saint Isidore.
May your Church learn from his teachings
and benefit from his intercession.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
