SUMMARY:Saint Paulinus of Nola
DESCRIPTION:Saint Paulinus of Nola\nSaint of the Day for June 20\n(354 – June 22\, 431)\nhttps://www.franciscanmedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/SODJun20.mp3\nSaint Paulinus of Nola’s Story\nAnyone who is praised in the letters of six or seven saints undoubtedly must be of extraordinary character. Such a person was Paulinus of Nola\, correspondent and friend of Saints Augustine\, Jerome\, Melania\, Martin\, Gregory the Great\, and Ambrose. \nBorn near Bordeaux\, he was the son of the Roman prefect of Gaul\, who had extensive property in both Gaul and Italy. Paulinus became a distinguished lawyer\, holding several public offices in the Roman Empire. With his Spanish wife\, Therasia\, he retired at an early age to a life of cultured leisure. \nThe two were baptized by the saintly bishop of Bordeaux and moved to Therasia’s estate in Spain. After many childless years\, they had a son who died a week after birth. This occasioned their beginning a life of great austerity and charity\, giving away most of their Spanish property. Possibly as a result of this great example\, Paulinus was rather unexpectedly ordained a priest at Christmas by the bishop of Barcelona. \nHe and his wife then moved to Nola\, near Naples. He had a great love for Saint Felix of Nola\, and spent much effort in promoting devotion to this saint. Paulinus gave away most of his remaining property–to the consternation of his relatives–and continued his work for the poor. Supporting a host of debtors\, the homeless and other needy people\, he lived a monastic life in another part of his home. By popular demand he was made bishop of Nola and guided that diocese for 21 years. \nPaulinus’ last years were saddened by the invasion of the Huns. Among his few writings is the earliest extant Christian wedding song. \n\nReflection\nMany of us are tempted to “retire” early in life\, after an initial burst of energy. Devotion to Christ and his work is waiting to be done all around us. Paulinus’ life had scarcely begun when he thought it was over\, as he took his ease on that estate in Spain. “Man proposes\, but God disposes.” \n\nThe Liturgical Feast Day of Saint Paulinus of Nola is June 22.
