CNA STAFF, May 30, 2010 / 05:00 am (CNA).- Today is the feast of St. Joan of Arc, the patroness of France. Joan was born to a peasant family near Lorraine, France in the 15th century.

From a young age she heard the voices of St. Michael, St. Catherine, and St. Margaret speaking to her. Then, in 1428, when she was 13 years old, she received a vision telling her to go to the King of France and help him reconquer his kingdom from the invading forces of England and Burgundy.

Overcoming opposition and convincing members of the court and of the Church, she was given a small army. She charged into battle bearing a banner which bore the names “Jesus” and “Mary” as well as a symbol of the Holy Spirit.

Full article…
 
I already commented on the news site-but I’ll do it here, too…

It was a good article…but there was a gross error on the charges that sent her to the stake.

She was not charged with ‘adultery’! Heresy and witchcraft, yes-but not adultery!

On the sign that was placed over her head, and on the paper cap that was on her head as she was taken to the stake, were these words: HERETIC, RELAPSED, APOSTATE, IDOLATOR! Now, is ‘adultery’ listed here? NOT!

I’m sorry for getting ticked off like this-but you’d think that a CATHOLIC NEWS AGENCY would get its facts straight in the lives of the Saints!

GRRRR…:mad:
