Today is the Memorial of Saint Pius V. Good morning, everyone! Pope Saint Pius V was born in 1504 in Italy. At 14, he joined the Dominican Order. He held various offices in the Inquisition and at age 62 was elected to the papal chair. During his pontificate, he implemented the reforms of the Council of Trent, reinforced treasured traditions such as reciting the Daily Office, and standardized the Mass by issuing a new missal. He was canonized in 1712 by Clement XI. Todays Gospel Reading: God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God. And this is the verdict, that the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed. But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God. John 3:16-21
