   October 10th - St. Paulinus of York, OSB B (RM)   
      
   Born c. 584; died at Rochester, England, 644. In 601, Saint Paulinus was   
   sent as   
   a missionary from Rome to England by Pope Saint Gregory I with Saints   
   Mellitus   
   and Justus. There assisted Bishop Saint Augustine by evangelizing in Kent   
   for 24   
   years.   
      
   He was consecrated bishop of York in 625 by Justus, then accompanied Saint   
   Ethelburga, daughter of King Ethelbert of Kent, to Northumbria as her   
   chaplain   
   when she married Edwin of Northumbria. Saint Bede tells us that two years   
   later   
   (627) Paulinus baptized King Saint Edwin on Easter Eve in York, bringing   
   Christianity to Northumbria. (A much less reliable source, the Welsh   
   Nennius,   
   ascribes Edwin's baptism to a Welsh priest.) Paulinus and his assistants   
   baptized thousands, who followed their king into Christianity.   
      
   Saint Paulinus, described as a tall, dark man, "of venerable and   
   awe-inspiring   
   appearance," followed up Edwin's baptism with a series of missionary   
   journeys   
   over a wide area. He reached as far north as Lincoln. During the last year's   
   of   
   Edwin's reign, there was such peace and order in his dominions that a   
   proverb   
   arose: A woman could carry her newborn baby across the island from sea to   
   sea   
   and suffer no harm (Bede). But the peace did not last for long.   
      
   Pope Saint Honorius I recognized Paulinus as archbishop of York, but before   
   the   
   letter arrived the first missionary efforts in Northumbria had ended. When   
   Edwin   
   was slain by the pagan Mercian Cadwallon at the Battle of Hatfield Chase in   
   633,   
   Northumbria reverted to paganism. Paulinus returned to Kent by sea with   
   Ethelburga, her two children, and Edwin's grandson Osfrid. He left his   
   deacon   
   James to conduct the missionary efforts to the best of his ability in   
   difficult   
   circumstances. Paulinus was named administrator of the vacant see of   
   Rochester,   
   administered it for 10 years (Attwater, Benedictines, Delaney,   
   Encyclopedia).   
      
   Generally, Paulinus is depicted as an archbishop baptizing King Saint Edwin   
   (Roeder).   
      
      
   Saint Quote:   
   The trouble is that everyone talks about reforming others and no one thinks   
   about reforming himself.   
   -St. Peter of Alcantara   
      
   Bible Quote   
   But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that   
   which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.  As we said before, so   
   now I   
   say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have   
   received, let him be anathema. (Galatians 1:8-9)

   Behold Me at Your Feet   
      
   Behold me at Your feet, O Jesus of Nazareth, behold the most wretched of   
   creatures, who comes into Your presence humble and penitent! Have mercy on   
   me, O Lord, according to Your great mercy! I have sinned and my sins are   
   always before You. Yet my soul belongs to You, for You created it, and   
   redeemed it with Your Precious Blood.   
      
   Ah, grant that Your redeeming work be not in vain! Have pity on me; give me   
   tears of true repentance; pardon me for I am Your child; pardon me as You   
   pardoned the penitent thief; look upon me from Your throne in heaven and   
   give me Your blessing.   
      
   I believe in God, etc.   - Amen.
