Just over a month ago, I had the amazing opportunity to visit the holy city of Rome (and a few other awesome places in Italia!). Dare I say the most memorable event throughout my trip was visiting the Basilica of St. Paul in Rome, known as Outside the Walls. In it, are the chains of St Paul and his holy body enshrined in the center of the cathedral. When visiting, I was overcome with emotion of being in such a sacred place, and felt the desire to chant something as a veneration for our teacher Paul. The sacristy of the basilica gave us permission to use one of the chapels and chant a Coptic hymn for St Paul—and no other hymn was more fitting
"But as for me, not because of any wisdom that I have more than all the living has this mystery been revealed to me, but in order that the interpretation may be made known..." – Daniel 2:30
