St. Pius X

Saint Pius X, glory of the priesthood; light and honor of the Christian people — you in whom lowliness seemed blended with greatness and severity with mildness; simple piety with profound learning, you, Pope of the Holy Eucharist and of the Catechism, of unsullied faith and fearless strength, turn your gaze on Holy Church, which you so loved and to which you consecrated the choicest of those treasures with which the lavish hand of the Divine Bounty had enriched your soul. Obtain for her safety and steadfastness amid the difficulties and persecutions of our times; sustain this poor human race, whose sufferings you shared in so largely — those sufferings which at the end stilled the beating of your great heart; bring it about that this troubled world may witness the triumph of that peace which should mean harmony among nations, brotherly accord and sincere collaboration among individual men, so that thus those ardent desires which consumed your apostolic life may become by your intercession a blessed reality, to the glory of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who with the Father and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.
