Pius V and St. Dominic with the Madonna of the Rosary.  April 30th is the feast of Pius V in the reformed calendar.  The Ordo of the Mass of Pius V is also referred to as the Tridentine rite.  (In the old calendar, May 5th is celebrated as the feast of St. Pius V.)

“O! Happy fault!…that caused the appreciation and restoration of the glorious liturgy of St. Pius V!”)

“To lose always and let everyone else win is a trait of valiant souls, generous spirits, and unselfish hearts; it is their manner to give rather than receive even to the extent of giving themselves.” - John of the Cross
