Tidbits from the Life of St. Pius Xth

Bishop Giuseppe Sarto

When he visited a parish, he would decline any pomp or fanfare.  “Pastoral visitations should not be a burden to you,” he insisted.  “When I come do not treat me any differently than yourselves.  Rather make ready your church by filling the pews.  It is by your attendance at Mass that you do your Bishop the greatest honour.  For I come not for useless pomp and ceremony, but the salvation of souls.”  The people responded enthusiastically.
