ST. PAUL, BISHOP OF VERDUN, C.

HAVING lived in the world a perfect pattern of perfection by alms,

fasts, assiduous prayer, meekness, and charity, he retired among the

hermits of {385} Mount Voge, near Triers, on a hill called from him

Paulberg. King Dagobert placed him in the episcopal chair of Verdun, and

was his protector in his zealous labors and ample foundations of that

church. The saint died in 631. See his authentic anonymous life in

Henschenius. Also Calmet, Hist. de Lorraine, t. 1, l. 9, n. 41, p. 402.
