Title: "Isidore of Seville - Computers." St. Isidore of Seville was a scholar and for over three decades, the Archbishop of Seville. He is known for his legacy of ancient culture that he transmitted to the Middle Ages in his chief work, the Etymologies. As reported by the 19th century historian Montalembert, St. Isidore was known by consensus as "the last scholar of the ancient world." In the words of St. Isidore, "Teaching, unsupported by grace may enter our ears, but it never reaches the heart. When God's grace does touch our innermost minds to bring understanding, then His word, which is received by the ear, can sink deep into the heart." St. Isidore is the patron saint of the internet, computer professionals, and software developers "Through the intercession of St. Isidore, grant that during our journeys through the internet, we will direct our hands and eyes only to that which is pleasing to God, and treat with charity and patience all those souls whom we encounter." -Prayer to S
