What does it mean to be intelligent?

Today we celebrate the feast of St. Isidore of Seville (560-636), who was a bishop and scholar from Spain whose wisdom and writings resulted in mass conversions. His life of prayer and study reveals what it means to allow the Truth to set us free. When we become attached to knowing God and gaining knowledge of the world, we are crafted into saints. 

Isidore wrote the first encyclopedia written from the Catholic perspective, called the “Etymologiae.” He was known for his profound wisdom and his ability to call to mind advanced truths as well as speak about them in a rational manner. He was also known for his intimate prayer life and union with the Lord. His daily commitment to prayer and study ruled his life. 

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”
