The Saints commemorated on May 15 are listed here .
One of the Saints commemorated on May 15 is St. Isidore the Farmer. What is amazing to learn is that St. Isidore lived his life in obscurity, but after he died, miracles were attributed to his intercession. These miracles included the cure of King Philip III in ca. 1615 A.D. Because of his recovery, the monarch was encouraged to petition for Isidore's canonization. And so it was done. The canonization of St. Isidore was celebrated in 1622 A.D. He was included in the canonization ceremony where he was elevated to the altar together with Sts. Ignatius of Loyola, Francis Xavier, Teresa of Avila, and Philip Neri.
