Sermon of the Wolf
The Northman is here.
The Northman is here and he is God’s wraith.
Pray, pray that God will save you from pain that is to come.
Repent your sins and maybe the Northman will pass your town, spare your wife & children, your crops and livestock.
Accept God’s mercy and maybe the Northman will spare your parishes’ relics.
If your faith is strong, if your soul is pure, God may send a champion.
God will protect His own.
At Lindisfarne, He protected Saint Cuthbert’s relics.
With three strokes of Cuthbert’s staff, a brother of the monastery smote the Northman’s ship. Raiders were driven into the waves Their bloated corpses were food to crabs and dogs.
God’s wraith pours from the North like the tide and only the men with the greatest faith will rise above the blood that is to flow.
