Holy Pope Pius X, intercede for us, who suffer in this valley of tears, and deliver us from the heresy of Modernism, which you rightly called the “synthesis of all heresies”, and which has penetrated our sinful world down to its deepest fibers. Assist God’s holy Church from your heavenly abode: Obtain for us the grace of a true Pope and the full restoration of the Church and Christian society. St. Pius X, pray for us!
