Petition from The Faithful


Lord God who hath gathered us here

for the greater honor and glory of thy name,

bestow on us thy blessing that we may leave in thy company.

Which I now receive in the name of the Father,

of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.



Prayer to San Isidro


Farmer, holy Saint Isidore;

Patron who all harvests shakes,

Deliver those seeking favor;

From bug swarms and earthquakes.


By the great mercy pure with;

which God did help you live,

Now this same peace and forgiveness;

Among brother farmers give.


Chosen from among the saints;

Of farmers, patron to be,

You will always be most reverenced;

 By your most devoted, truly.


When the Lord, to chastise mankind;

Sends to us bad time alarm,

By your holy intercession;

We’re delivered from all harm.


From the thief who’d steal our crops;

For he fears not the Lord,

You will safeguard all our bounty;

We ask you to save our hoard.


 From the ever-destructive hail;

Which causes much harm, we fear,

We humbly implore your favor;

Guard our crops again this year.
