Today we remember Paulinus, First Bishop of York. Paulinus was a Roman monk who was made a bishop in the year 625 and sent to the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria, where he settled at York and ministered to the few Christians at the court of King Edwin. Let us pray: Almighty God, you sent your holy servant Paulinus to preach the gospel of peace in a kingdom of warriors, that those who feared the darkness of their fate might know the living splendour of your light. Grant us, after his example, so to manifest our adoption as your children that we may succour the hopeless and bring peace to war-filled hearts; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
