St. Paul, who knew nothing but Christ, and him crucified,
St. Paul, whose love for Christ was stronger than death,
St. Paul, who wished to be dissolved and be with Christ,
St. Paul, whose zeal knew no bounds,
St. Paul, who made thyself all to all, to gain all to Christ,
St. Paul, who called thyself prisoner of Christ for us,
