30th May - Saint Joan of Arc
Go forward bravely. Fear nothing. Trust in God; all will be well - Saint Joan of Arc.
Saint Joan of Arc was truthful when lying was the common speech of men; she was honest when honesty became a lost virtue; she was a keeper of promises when the keeping of a promise was expected of no one; ... she was full of pity when merciless cruelty was the rule; she was steadfast when stability was unknown, and honorable in an age which had forgotten what honor was; she was a rock of convictions in a time when men believed in nothing and scoffed at all things; she was unfailingly true in an age that was false to the core; ... she was of a dauntless courage when hope and courage had perished in the hearts of her nation, said Mark Twain.
