St. Monica, Widow. St. Monica was a native of Africa, and brought about the oonversion"of her husband, who was a pagan. Her son, the great St. Augustine, having been led in his youth to „ embrace the errors of the Manichean heretics, owed Ms subsequent conversion to her prayers. She died in Ostia, Italy, in 387. St. Pius V., Pope and Confessor! On the death of Pius IV., in 1565, Cardinal Ghisleri, a native of Northern Italy, and a member of the Order of St. Dominic, became Pope under the name of Pius V. His pontificate was signalised by the brilliant victory gained by ,the Christians over the Turks at Lepamtjo. The expedition was organised mainly through the efforts of St. Pius, and its success is attributed to the prayers which he caused to be offered up throughout Christendom, no less than to the valor of the Christian soldiers. As Pope, St. Pius lived the same simple and frugal life which he had adopted when embracing the religious state. He died in 1572, in the 69th year of his age.
