O St. Pius V, O blessed Pontiff!
No mortal ever labored with such zealous vigor
to promote God's glory on earth as you did;
No mortal ever struggled, as you did,
to free Christian lands from the yoke
which barbarians were seeking to put upon them.
Your power is greater now that you are in heaven:
look upon us your clients!
Restrain civil discord and repel our enemies.
May your prayers bring golden peace upon the earth;
that in calm security we may sing our canticles
to God with a gladder heart.
To You, O Blessed Trinity, one God,
be glory, praise and power,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
