Feast of St. Joan of Arc

 Blessed Feast of St. Joan of Arc!!!!

Below is a prayer for recitation on her feast day, May 30.  It seems most fitting to honor this great Saint since she is the patroness of my blog.

As we recite the Litany of St. Joan of Arc, may we pray that we will grow in the virtues of Faith, love of God, fortitude, and perseverance--virtues St. Joan clearly possessed during her life.  May we use these virtues to help transform this world to become a mirror of the love and goodness of God.  St. Joan, pray for us!
