St. Joan of Arc
St. Joan of Arc Feast date: May 30
Today is the feast of St. Joan of Arc, the patroness of France. Joan was born to a peasant family in Champagne, France in the early 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.
Due to her leadership and trust in God, she was able to raise the siege of Orleans in 1429. Joan and her army went on to win a series of battles. Because of her efforts, the king was able to enter Rheims. He was crowned with Joan at his side.
Eventually, Joan was captured by the forces of Burgundy in May of 1430. When her own king and army did nothing to save her, she was sold to the English. She was imprisoned for a time and then put on trial. Bishop Peter Cauchon of Beauvais presided over her trial. His hope was that in being harsh with Joan, the English would help him become archbishop.
Joan was condemned to death on counts of heresy, witchcraft, and adultery. On May 30, 1431, she was burned at the stake in Rouen, France. She was 19 years old.
Thirty years after her death, her case was retried and she was exonerated. In 1920, she was canonized by Pope Benedict XV. She is the patroness of France, captives, soldiers, and those ridiculed for their piety.

AND NOT COINCIDENCE same day TRUMP “declared Guilty” despite the Verdict devoid of actual definition of Crime(s) committed supposedly found Guilty of – which will be just ONE OF MANY irregularities the case (and 34 counts) WILL BE APPEALED ON AND CASE COMPLETELY OVER-TURNED (by SCOTUS, not likely by more Leftist Activists Courts in NY)…

Since we are given FREE WILL that would be a NO to “Is It A Sin For Christians To NOT Vote” – HOWEVER we must remember “Known By Our Fruits” (not just our rhetoric) and 2 Chronicles 7:14 (that I’ve written on many times) say “AND TURN FROM WICKED WAYS” which demands an ACTION beyond that of just Prayer (hear from Heaven and Heal Their Lands) that we AT LEAST MUST do things (not just whine and complain) to “HELP TRY TURN NATION FROM WICKED WAYS” (as called for in 2Chor7:14) and IMO that means AT VERY LEAST VOTING but IMO need for FAR MORE THAN THAT. Reap what Sow, and as RUSH (the Rock Group, not Limbaugh) sang: IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO DECIDE YOU STILL HAVE MADE A CHOICE and NOT VOTING is ALLOWING OTHERS TO PICK EVIL and we all then must “choke down” the ROTTEN FRUIT that was/is Sowed by such Leadership!
