Rosary-Based Intercessory Prayers to Saint Pius V and Our Lady of Victory

Intercessory Rosary-Based Prayer to Saint Pius V
St Pius V Chaplet of Our Lady of Victory is dedicated to Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, triumphant over all enemies of Christ.

It is time for all Christians to respond to the war that has been declared first on Christendom and now on Christianity itself, as the demonic old world order rises up once again in defiance to Christ the King.  Knowing that the Christian forces were at a distinct material disadvantage, the holy pontiff, St. Pope Pius V called for all of Europe to pray the Rosary for victory. Pius V instituted “Our Lady of Victory” as an annual feast to commemorate the victory at Lepanto, which he attributed to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Saint Pius V is considered as an icon of true faith, orthodoxy (correct teaching) and orthopraxy (correct practice). A prominent papal bull such as QUO PRIMUM – Apostolic Constitution of His Holiness Pope Saint Pius V on the Celebration of Masses,– will definitely remind us of our duties to God.
