TO ST. JAMES THE LESSER, THE APOSTLE / by Joe Castorino

About you we really don’t know a ton,

Except that you were Alphaeus’ son;

Why were you called James the Less?

Big James was a lot taller I guess;

Or maybe you were very humble,

Making Arrogance trip and stumble;

The Lord Jesus taught you to love,

To know His peace from way up above;

You faithfully spread the holy Word,

Unlike anything that was ever heard;

You’re the unknown mystery apostle,

But I bet your deeds were colossal.
