Ironsides Family/Hades/Dunstoke Open

This sermon was delivered for the followers of the Way of the Warrior Saints in Dunstoke during the opening ceremony of the temple of Dunstoke.

"Brothers and Sisters, today is a great day for our religion! Let the sun shine in through these new glass windows, and warm these new simple seats. For this sermon is the first ever sermon spoken in the temple of Dunstoke.

I have chosen for my topic a discussion on the Saints. Please sit around and listen to what I have to say.

By our faith, we have been given the great responsibility to maintain Order here on Earth. This task was built in us by the Great Father when we were created so long ago. You may all know already that in the early days we did not know how to perform this duty. We, as immoral self-centred animals, became greedy and vain. We took titles we did not deserve, we waged wars without reason and we disobeyed the very thing that we were meant to do. We caused disorder. This angered the Great Father, who had taken time to rest after all his creating work, and was woken up by our noise! This was a day fellow faithfuls that we can all be thankful that we were not alive to see. We know it as the Holy Cataclysm.

After this great divine event occurred, the remaining humans realized what they were meant to do. They now understood their purpose, their reason for living, and the reason they were reprimanded. These men and women realized the need to maintain Order, and they became the first Warrior Saints. These Saints are revered more than the rest for they have been witness to the Holy Mountain at World’s End, the slumbering bed of our Great Father. A sight none saw after the Holy Cataclysm.

What makes a Warrior Saint? What do they do? This is the discussion I would like to have.

A Warrior Saint roams the Earth teaching us how to behave according to our design. Order must be kept by our hands, and they remind us routinely to pay attention to that mandate. They also give blessings to ordinary nobles and peasants. They also protect us from our woes and miseries. If it is our duty to maintain Order on Earth, then it is the Warrior Saints duty to oversee and protect the Holy Earth and Stones by making sure we stay righteous. This power was given to them after the Holy Cataclysm, and since then, worthy humans just like us who practice our faith without waiver can transcend the flesh to attain sainthood. We know this to have occurred as well, as there are many Saints who provide evidence of that. How may we, as simple people, transcend the flesh, you ask? We may do so by diligent study, courage in battle and walking along the Righteous Way of the Saints-Who-Went-Before.

But this is not the full job description of the Warrior Saint, they also have a special task to perform at the end time, the time of our separation and asunder, the Second Awakening. During this time, the Warrior Saints will march with the Father leading the Risen Faithful (all of us) fighting the wicked and the anarchists. The lost shall be captured and thrown into fire, torn to bits, or barricaded into walls. This time will be one of carnage, bloodshed and pain. Thankfully we will be on the other side of it and will not have to receive such a fate. This would be true so long as we all continue to practice our faith orthodox.

When Order is finally returned after the Father’s merciless rage, everyone will be allowed to sleep. Saints, we laity, and the Great Father will all rest and await the Next World.

To this, we worship the Warrior Saints as the living and supernatural servants of the Great Sleeping Father."
