Saint Paulinus, bishop, who, having received baptism at Bordeaux and having laid aside the consulship, from being most noble and most wealthy became poor and humble for the sake of Christ. Having moved to Nola in Campania, near the tomb of the priest Saint Felix, that he might follow his example of life close at hand, he led an ascetic manner of life together with his wife and companions. Made a bishop, renowned for learning and holiness, he assisted pilgrims and zealously relieved the poor.
