Cover of Joan of Arc

Joan of Arc

She was so young when she heard a Voice speaking to her of the faith and its observance, and gave her an order that she should seek the uncrowned King of France, dispossessed by his foes, and rescue him and crown him at Rheims. She told no one, but turned to a new piety as she grew into womanhood, cherishing the poor, and at her prayers continually till her devotion seemed ridiculous to those around her. And she had vowed her virginity to God "so long as it should Him please," but on this also she held her peace. Such is the beginning of the story of Joan of Arc.
