The last question was about St. Pius X.    He is known as "the Pope of Frequent Communion", who lead the battle to conserve the faith.  He encouraged Catholics to receive our Lord in Holy Communion more often then they were.   He guarded the faith against a heresy/false teaching called Modernism.

Today we have a multiple choice questions about St. Pius V.   His feast day is May 5.    Two books he revised are the a.)Missal and Roman Martyrology  b.) Missal and Breviary   c.) Catechism and Martyrology.   

[DOMINIC G. BREECE]

b.) Missal and Breviary

[JOSEPH G. BREECE]

b.) Missal and Breviary

[0dxenox7wqztx]

Congratulations to Joseph, the winner of last weeks trivia contest. Let's all pray 1 Our Father and 3 Hail Marys for him.

The last question was about St. Pius V.  The correct answer is b)  Missal and Breviary.  When one of the books are revised, changes are made to them.  It could be adding new saints days, changing some of the prayers, etc. We know the missal is the book Father uses to pray the Mass.  The breviary is another book Father uses to pray several times a day.  It includes many psalms, short readings from other parts of the Bible, and other prayers.  The martyrology for each day lists the saints whose feasts fall on that day and has a sentence or two about them.  For example, on March 19, it says this about St. Joseph.  "In Judea, the birthday of St. Joseph, spouse of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary. Pope Pius IX, yielding to the desires and prayers of the whole Catholic world, declared him Patron of the Universal Church."  Many of the other saints listed are martyrs who willing suffered death because they would not renounce (reject) their Catholic religion.

This week is going to be dedicated to the Blessed Mother and some of her feasts.   Today we will do Our Lady of the Rosary which is celebrated on October 7.  You will notice that St. Pius V is mentioned, but the question is about the rosary itself.   During each decade we pray the Our Father, 10 Hail Marys, and the Glory be while meditating on one of the mysteries.  The Scourging at the Pillar and the Carrying of the Cross are two of the ________ mysteries.  Here is the bonus question.   One of the prayers I mentioned is what our Saviour taught His Apostles when they wanted to know how to pray.  It is the ___  ______.
