Joan of Arc was a woman of courage and strength. Despite having no education or military training she lead the armies of France to victory. But that was not enough to keep her from the fires of worldly judgment. She could have denied her heavenly interactions. She could have said it was all untrue. But her faith and her integrity burned brighter than the fired that surrounded her. May we have the integrity of Joan as well as her courage in the face of our persecutions.
