@saintstories8: At the stake she asked for a cross. An English soldier broke a stick in two, tied it into a cross, and handed it to her. A priest ran to the church, brought the crucifix, and held it up before her face until the smoke took her. Her last word was the name of Jesus. Twenty-five years later the Church reopened her case and declared the trial a fraud. In 1920 she was canonized. God does not need the educated or the powerful. And the fire can take everything except what has been given to Him. Saint Joan of Arc, pray for us. ☩ . . . #SaintJoanofArc #JoanofArc #catholicsaints #saintstory
