Today is the feast of Pope St Pius V, the Dominican Pope who started the tradition of Popes wearing white.
The Latin translates as:
Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church. Alleluia.
Also, I had an idea to do a 100 day challenge and just recently noticed the ability to schedule posts, so maybe I can make 100 short posts like this over the next 100 days.
This one is: Tu es Petrus et super hanc petram aedificabo ecclesiam meam.
You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my church.
A good one considering the story of a Chinese Bishop who was being held under house arrest and the Vatican delegation couldn't get to see him privately. The government held a dinner where the Vatican delegation and the bishop could attend, but couldn't talk privately. The bishop stood and sang this antiphon to express his allegiance to the Pope. The message was received and understood.
