Paulinus will best be remembered for his insistence on sharing the scriptures with everyone especially the poor and uneducated. He felt that faith matters were often too intellectual and advanced for most people. He appealed to preachers to keep things simple and to the point. Such advice is probably still very relevant for today! He also felt that a lot of things spiritual were built around fear. Again he wanted spirituality to be built much more on trust and love. In many ways he was ahead of his time back in the 700’s but his writings are still relevant and important.

Today is his feastday and we ask his blesings on us today. Amen
