The typical painting of Saint Pius V above. Below, his tomb at Saint Mary Majors. That picture was taken on one of my day pilgrimages in Rome while on the Missionary of Mercy ad limina (so to speak).
In this, the “Sistine” chapel at Saint Mary Majors, just opposite Pius V in location though not in faith, is Pope Sixtus V (also my hero whose repentance I strive to imitate) but I digress.
Today’s homily:
“correction in corruption”… ever the challenge for prideful souls (like me).
We are so very rich in this One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. Thanks for the history lesson!
