St. Isidore of Seville

I had actually promised someone another saint today, but since I will not get my computer back until tomorrow, today's saint is St. Isidore of Seville, patron of the internet. St. Isidore died in 636, so obviously he never surfed the Web. But in his time, he compiled a twenty- volume encyclopedia of all existing knowledge. It was a breathtaking achievement, a tribute not only to his own wide ranging intellect but also to his hopes for the future. The web is about collecting, preserving and disseminating knowledge - precisely what Isidore accomplished in his life. His feast day is Apr 4. (Quoted from This Saint's for You!)
