Saints are often different from ordinary people, and therefore no one understands them during their lives. Only several years after their death, people begin to understand their meaning. Joan of Arc was a saint like that. She was too far ahead of her time and was killed by her people because they didn't know what else to do. 489 years after her death, she was canonized in 1920. In my opinion, she was not only a saint but also supposed to be an angel. She set a good example for all of us on how to behave in the name of honor, honesty and glory. Joan was a very simple and faithful country girl until God called her to fight in His name against the English invaders. At that time, Joan was chosen as God's messenger. His first encounter with his voices took place around the age of thirteen. At her trial, she described this as a vision of St. Michael: “I saw him before my eyes; he was not alone but completely surrounded by the angels of heaven. » It was her destiny and the fulfillment of the prophecy according to which a young girl from Lorraine would perform a miracle to save France. From that day on, something changed in his personality. She revealed her true face and what danger she could become. His character is divided into two parts: a soldier, a physical being, only of flesh and blood, and a saint, a spiritual being who represents a higher power. When she protested that she had no experience in such forms of leadership and knew nothing about horsemanship or war, his voices reassured her that she would be required to operate quickly and effectively among those in authority. She managed to convince them to allow her access to the royal court and the long-disabled French army. Upon her arrival in Chinon, she identified the dauphin Charles VII, even if he was disguised. She convinces him to allow her to lead the army and attend his coronation. Joan's military campaigns were a series of brilliant victories. She liberated the city of Orléans, besieged by the English for months. This victory was a turning point for French citizens around the world. It was the first time during the war that the French actually believed they could win against the incredibly strong English. It is for this reason that Joan of Arc became the heroine of the Hundred Years' War and the inspiration of many people to come. As we remember her death, it is essential for us to understand how hard she fought to continue living, fulfill her dreams, and accomplish God's will. Without being given the opportunity to become a woman, she remains forever in our minds as the girl whose faith changed history. Its place in history and in the hearts of people is assured.
