Pictured are the liturgical vestments in which Pope Pius V was buried 450 years ago. In 1904 A.D., Saint Pius V was exhumed from the tomb where he was buried in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. His clothes were found untouched, and were then formally sealed in a glass reliquary.
Prayer to St. Pius V:
"LET US PRAY.
God, who, to the utter destruction of the enemies of thy Church, and to the restoration of thy holy worship, didst vouchsafe to choose blessed Pius to be thy high-priest: grant us to be so defended by his protection, and to remain so steadfast in thy service, that, overcoming the snares of all our enemies, we may enjoy everlasting repose.
Through Christ our Lord.
R. Amen."

"Whoever wishes to be saved must, above all, keep the *Catholic faith. For unless a person keeps this faith whole and entire, he will undoubtedly be lost forever."
