The Christian Saints are good role models (and helpers). Their lives offer aid and inspiration during times of suffering, persecution and trial. To imitate the saints is to overcome.
St. Joan of Arc is an example of this. While facing suffering (and eventual death) she persevered through the grace of courage, faith, loyalty and love.
She had the courage of her convictions and was willing to stand by them no
matter what it cost her, even her life.
She was faithful and loyal to Holy Mother Church even though some of its
prelates were cruel and unjust to her and ultimately betrayed her to the hideous
death of being burnt alive.
She was faithful and loyal to GOD and the MISSION that HE gave
her.
She loved the oppressed people of France. She showed her love by striving to end
the long standing Hundred Years' War which caused the people so much suffering.
Ask St. Joan of Arc in your prayer for the grace of these virtues.
