The greatest obstacle in the apostolate of the Church is the timidity or rather the cowardice of the faithful.
Pope Pius X
Image
Among all the devotions approved by the Church none has been so favored by so many miracles as the devotion of the Most Holy Rosary
Pope Pius X
Image
It is an error to believe that Christ did not teach a determined body of doctrine applicable to all times and to all men, but rather that He inaugurated a religious movement adapted, or to be adapted, to different times and different places.
Pope Pius X
Image
The Rosary is the most beautiful and the most rich in graces of all prayers it is the prayer that touches most the Heart of the Mother of God...and if you wish peace to reign in your homes, recite the family Rosary.

Holy Communion is the shortest and safest way to Heaven. There are others: innocence, but that is for little children penance, but we are afraid of it generous endurance of trials of life, but when they come we weep and ask to be. The surest, easiest, shortest way is the Eucharist.
Pope Pius X

Pope Pius X
Image
The proposition that the principal articles of the Apostles' Creed did not have the same meaning for the Christians of the earliest times as they have for Christians of our time is hereby condemned and proscribed as erroneous.
Pope Pius X
Image
The Church alone, being the Bride of Christ and having all things in common with her Divine Spouse, is the depository of the truth.
Pope Pius X
Image
Let the storm rage and the sky darken - not for that shall we be dismayed. If we trust as we should in Mary, we shall recognize in her, the Virgin Most Powerful who with virginal foot did crush the head of the serpent.
Pope Pius X
Image
It is impossible to approve in Catholic publications of a style inspired by unsound novelty which seems to deride the piety of the faithful and dwells on the introduction of a new order of Christian life, on new directions of the Church, on new aspirations of the modern soul, on a new vocation of the clergy, on a new Christian civilisation.
Pope Pius X
Image
Once for all beloved children, the surest, easiest, shortest way is by the Eucharist. It is so easy to approach the holy table, and there we taste the joys of Paradise
Pope Pius X
Image
To heal the breach between the rich and the poor, it is necessary to distinguish between justice and charity.
Pope Pius X
Image
Nothing would please us more than to see our beloved children form the habit of reading the Gospels - not merely from time to time, but every day.
