Joan of Arc was raised on a farm.
At the age of 18 she became divinely-inspired to persist and ultimately succeed in leading the French to victory IN BATTLE against the English [think about THAT the next time you’re at the gym]!
A year later, again IN BATTLE while serving the same king whom she’d help liberate France, she was captured by the English.
The French king turned his back on her, making no effort to rescue the young French heroine.
After publicly besting and embarrassing her captors, at the age of 19 Joan was burned at the stake…
…FOR DRESSING LIKE A MAN!!
That was the only public charge made against her.
Faith engenders a sense of purpose and “CAN’T TOUCH THIS!” attitude that Joan of Arc embodied – that and a lot of love and a bit of craziness!
Joan of Arc is my patron saint. Who’s your’s?
