The Collect
O GOD, the light of the faithful and shepherd of souls, who didst call thy servant Wulfstan to feed thy sheep by his word, and guide them by his example: Grant us, we pray thee, to keep the faith which he taught, and to follow in his footsteps, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Wulfstan was an English bishop. It is believed that he started his ecclesiastical career as a Benedictine monk, becoming the Bishop of London in 996. In 1002 he was elected simultaneously to the diocese of Worcester and the archdiocese of York, holding both in plurality until 1016, when he relinquished Worcester but remained the Archbishop of York until his death.
