Dedication of the Basilicas of St. Peter and St. Paul
Peter was a fisherman turned Pope.
Paul was a Pharisees turned Preacher.
Both lived and ministered in Rome.
Both found their end in Rome
As Peter was crucified upside down on Vatican Hill
And Paul was beheaded outside the Walls of Rome
Both are buried in Rome
St. Peter at the Basilica at the Vatican.
St. Paul at the Basilica Outside the Walls of Rome.
As we reflect upon the lives and deaths of Peter and Paul
In the dedication of the Basilicas in which they are buried in Rome
We reflect also upon what it means to be Roman Catholic
