Blessing
Paulinus was born in Gaut in A.D. 353. He was a Roman citizen and achieved distinction as a poet and writer. Later he became a Christian and went to live as a hermit at the Shrine of Nola, near Naples. There he gave away all his money to refugees Seeing before the invading armies of the Vandals. He eventually took pity on a prisoner of war and, changing places with him, was sent as a slave to Africa. His story illustrates the saying of Christ: 'He that loseth his life for my sake shall find it ' (St. Matthew 10, v. 39). t
