AsCardinalAlessandrinokneltinsilentandferventprayerbythedead bodyofhisfaithfulfriendthelate Pope,hemayhaveindulgedinthe hopethatnowatlasthewouldbe allowedtoretireintosolitudeinhis dearOrder.ButhewassoonundeceivedwhenthenewPope.Piusthe Fourth,salutedhimwithtitleofBishopofMondovi,inPiedmont,amuch moreimportantplacethanhisfirst diocese.Hewasalsoconfirmedinhis officeofInquisitor-General.Hislife becamemorestrenuousthanever,and hefeltthathewouldnotbeableto spendmuchtimeinhisnewdiocese. However,hearrangedtopayitavisit, onethatwasrememberedforyears after.Hewenteverywhere,eveninto thesmallestvillages,preachedandgave Confirmationeverywhere,andsucceededinbringingbacktotheFoldmany whohadstrayedawayfromit.He paidashortvisittoBosco,hislittle birthplace,andendoweditwithaDominicanPriory.Thenheproceededto hisotherhomeequallydear,the PrioryofVigevano,wherehehadbegunhislifeasaDominican.This visitwascutshortbyamandatefrom Rome.St.CharlesBorromeo.ArchbishopofMilan,hadbeenentrustedby hisuncle,PopePius,withthecorrespondence'anddifferentmattersconnectedwiththeCouncilofTrent;and St.Charlesexpressedhisardentwishto haveCardinalAlessandrinotohelphim intheseweightymatterswhichinvolvedsomuchresponsibility.TheCouncilofTrentcloseditssittingsonthe 3rd.December,1563,andPopePius convokedtheCardinalstoapublicprocessionofthanksgiving,whichwas heldandproceededfromSt.Peter'sto theChurchofMinerva.Thedecrees oftheCouncilwereapprovedandconfirmedonthe26th.January,1564,and signedbyalltheCardinals.Tothe greatjoyofCardinalAlessandrino,the theologianswhowereappointedto drawuptheCatechismoftheCouncil ofTrentwereallchosenfromtheDominicanOrder.InfacttheHolyFather lostnoopportunityofshowinghis greatrespectforthesterlingqualities andeminentholinessoftheCardinal InquisitorGeneral.Andthis,althoughtheCardinalneverfailedtoobjectandprotest,wheneverbefeltit hisdutytodoso.Thus,forinstance, Whentwoyoungprinceswereproposed fortheCardinal'shat,thesaintlyCardinalstoodupandsaid:"YourHoliness,thedecreesoftherecentCouncil forbidsuchnominations;theChurch needsmenofmatureyearsinhercouniells,notchildrenlikethese."

AtlastCardinalAlessandrino,being exhaustedbyhisincessantlaboursand anxietiesinthecauseoftheChurch,a seriousillnessdeclareditself.Never foryearshadhebeensobrightandso happy,becausehethoughtthathet,as nearthegatesofthe"BetterLand."He arrangedthatheshouldbeburied "withmybrethreninourChurchof theMinerva,"andhedictatedhisepitaph,whichwastobe"engravedona veryplainmonument."However,the crisispassedaway,andhewasrestored totheChurch,andbeforemanydays hadelapsed,PopePiustheFourthdied inthearmsofhisdearfriends,St. PhilipNeriandSt.CharlesBorromeo.
