You were added to the Eleven just a little bit later,
you’re the one who is known for replacing the traitor;
You were a part of the mission of the seventy-two,
and you saw how Jesus’ power made all things new;
On Pentecost you received the promised Paraclete,
and heard the first papal speech of good old St. Pete;
You mortified your flesh to kill your desire,
coupled with virtue, it helped put out the fire;
As a martyr, you were stoned in the year 80 A.D.,
now surrounded by Love, you’re finally free.
