        Pius in oppido Insubriæ, quod Boschum vocant, natus, sed e Bonónia oriundus ex
        nobili Ghisleriórum família, cum quatuordecim esset annórum, ordinem Prædicatórum
        ingréssus est. Erat in eo admirábilis patiéntia, profúnda humilitas, summa vitæ
        austeritas, continuum oratiónis studium, et regularis observantiæ ac divini
        honoris ardentíssimus zelus. Philosophíæ vero ac theologíæ incumbens, adeo in iis
        excelluit, ut illas docéndi munus magna cum laude per multos annos exercúerit.
        Sacras conciónes plúribus in locis cum ingénti auditórum fructu hábuit.
        Inquisitoris offícium inviolábili animi fortitúdine diu sustinuit; multasque
        civitátes, non sine vitæ discrimine, ab hæresi tunc grassante immunes servávit.


        A Paulo quarto, cui ob exímias virtútes caríssimus erat, ad Nepesínum et
        Sutrinum episcopátum promotus, et post biennium inter Romanæ Ecclésiæ presbyteros
        cardinales adscriptus fuit. Tum ad ecclésiam Montis Regalis in Subalpinis a Pio
        quarto translatus, cum plures in eam abusus irrepsisse cognovísset, totam
        diœcesim lustrávit; rebusque compositis Romam reversus, gravíssimis expediéndis
        negotiis applicatus, quod justum erat, apostolica libertáte et constántia
        decernebat. Mortuo autem Pio, præter ómnium exspectatiónem electus Pontifex,
        nihil in vitæ ratióne, excepto exteriori habitu, immutávit. Fuit in eo religiónis
        propagandæ perpétuum studium, in ecclesiástica disciplína restituénda indeféssus
        labor, in exstirpandis erróribus assidua vigilantia, in sublevandis egéntium
        necessitátibus indeficiens beneficéntia, in Sedis apostolicæ júribus vindicándis
        robur invictum.


        Selímum Turcárum tyrannum multis elátum victoriis, ingénti comparáta classe, ad
        Echínadas ínsulas non tam armis quam fusis ad Deum precibus devicit. Quam
        victoriam ea ipsa hora, qua obténta fuit, Deo revelante, cognóvit suisque
        familiaribus indicávit. Dum vero novam in ipsos Turcas expeditiónem molirétur, in
        gravem morbum incidit; et, acerbíssimis dolóribus patientíssime tolerátis, ad
        extrema deveniens, cum sacraménta de more suscepísset, ánimam Deo placidíssime
        réddidit, anno millesimo quingentésimo septuagesimo secundo, ætátis suæ sexagesimo
        octavo, cum sedísset annos sex, menses tres, dies viginti quatuor. Corpus ejus in
        basilica sanctæ Maríæ ad Præsépe summa fidelium veneratióne colitur, multis a Deo
        ejus intercessióne patrátis miraculis. Quibus rite probátis, a Cleménte undecimo,
        Pontifice máximo, Sanctórum número adscriptus est.

        Michael Ghislieri afterwards proclaimed Pope under the name of Pius V, was born
        at the town of Bosco in the Milanese, but his family was a noble one of Bologna.
        At the age of fourteen years he entered the order of Friars Preachers. He was a
        man marked by a wonderful long-suffering, a deep lowliness, a great hardness of
        living, an unwavering earnestness in prayer, and a most strong zeal for the
        perfect observance of the Rule of his Order, and for the greater glory of God. He
        gave himself to the study of Philosophy and Theology, and was so learned in both,
        that he discharged for many years with great reputation the duties of a Professor
        of those sciences. He preached publicly in many places, to the great profit of
        his hearers. He long did the work of Inquisitor with unflinching spirit, and
        preserved many cities, not without risk to his own life, from the heresy which
        was then creeping in everywhere.


        Paul IV, to whom his virtues had greatly endeared him, raised him to the united
        Bishoprics of Nepi and Sutri, and after two years he was enrolled among the
        Cardinal Priests of the Roman Church. Pius IV. translated him to the Church of
        Mondovi in Piedmont, wherein, on his coming, he found that many corruptions had
        crept in. He reformed the whole of his diocese, and, after settling his affairs,
        returned to Rome, where his attention was called to matters of the gravest
        business, in determining which he used Apostolic boldness and firmness. After the
        death of Pius IV, the fifth Pius, to the astonishment of all men, was elected to
        succeed him. On becoming Pope he changed his way of life in no respect except as
        regarded his raiment. The Propagation of Religion was to him the object of
        unceasing care; the restoration of the Discipline of the Church, of unwearied
        toil; the uprooting of error, of sleepless watchfulness; the relieving the needs
        of the poor, of unfailing charity; the maintenance of the rights of the Apostolic
        See, of adamantine firmness.


        The Turkish Sultan Selim was bloated with many victories, and had got together an
        huge fleet in the Gulf of Lepanto, but Pius V. crushed him, not so much by force
        of arms as by dint of the prayers wherein he pleaded with God. At the hour that
        the victory was won, Pius knew it by the inward revelation of God, and stated the
        fact to his servants. He was busied with the preparations for a new expedition
        against the Turks, when he was laid down by grievous sickness. He bore most sharp
        sufferings with the gentlest patience, and when the end came, he received the
        Sacraments as is usual, and with great peace yielded his spirit to God, in the
        year of salvation 1572, and of his own age the 68th, having sat as Pope six
        years, three months, and twenty-four days. His body is buried in the Church of
        St. Mary, where the Manger from Bethlehem is, and is there held in great respect
        by the faithful, who have obtained from God by his prayers, many evident
        miracles. The said miracles having been proved by a judicial investigation Pope
        Clement XI enrolled his name among those of the Saints.
