AUGUST 21 SAN PIO X, Pope. Prayer to be recited to the Saint

O God, who to defend the Catholic faith

and unify everything in Christ

you animated your Spirit of wisdom and fortitude

Pope Saint Pius X, do that,

in light of his teachings and example,

we come to the prize of eternal life.

For our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who is God, and lives and reigns with you,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

for all ages. Amen.

O Saint Pius X, meek and humble of heart, in the likeness of Jesus whom you represented so well in our midst, welcome our prayer pitifully, as you fatherly listened to on earth whoever appealed to you.

See how sad our days are and how the enemies of God fight against Him and His children!

Arise in the indomitable fortress of your spirit and protect the Church; defend your Successor; save all of us who, united with you in one heart, implore you to present our prayers to the throne of God, so that, among so many dangers, the Church and Christian society will once again sing the hymn of liberation, victory and peace .

So be it.
