Two of the most outstanding accomplishments of this saintly Pope were the inauguration of the liturgical renewal and the restoration of frequent communion from childhood. Pius gave a great impetus to Biblical studies and brought about the codification of Canon Law. His overriding concern was to renew all things in Christ. Above all, his holiness shone forth conspicuously. From St. Pius X we learn again that "the folly of the Cross", simplicity of life, and humility of the soul are still the highest form of wisdom and indispensable conditions of a perfect Christian life, for they are the very source of all Christian values. This Pope preached a life of simplicity for all Christians.
