➡️ Pope Saint Pius V.'s Strictly Vegan Lifestyle

St Pius V was born near Allesandria in Italy in 1504; he entered the Dominican Order and became Pope in 1566. He put into practice the reforming decrees of the Council of Trent, which ended in 1563: in his name the Catechism, the Breviary, and the Missal were promulgated, and these endured until the recent reform in the 20th century. He encouraged the practice of saying the Rosary. He died in 1572.

PRAYER:

Father,

you chose Saint Pius V as pope of your Church

to protect the faith and give you more fitting worship.

By his prayers,

help us celebrate your holy mysteries

with a living faith and an effective love.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, forever and ever.

Amen.

Our Lord called him when but young to leave his father and his father’s house, to serve Him in the Society of Jesus. And because he was so good a son, it cost his father much to give him up to God; but he was too good a Christian to refuse outright. HE WAS SENT TO ROME John had hardly taken his religious vows when he was sent to the centre of Christendom, the holy city of Rome. His modesty, his purity, shone out as great virtue always does; and the young laymen who attended the lectures would come to gaze upon his beautiful and holy face, and go away the better for the sight.
