Saint Pius X, Pope

1835-1914

~ +++++++ ~

Throughout his papacy, Pope Pius X masterfully balanced a vigorous opposition to modernism with his faithful revivals of liturgy and tradition.

Many of Pius X’s innovations are commonplace today, such as the lowered age for First Communion and delivering sermons from the pulpit.

Before his time, the faithful would often abstain from receiving the Eucharist, even when in a state of grace, out of sentiments of unworthiness.

Pope Pius X’s most lasting impression on the Church was his encouragement to receive Holy Communion as frequently as one could, reminding the faithful of Its magnificence and necessity.

Saint Pius X, pray for us!
