Saint Joan of Arc (30 May): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

St. Joan of Arc remains one of the most extraordinary saints in Church history. Born in a small French village in 1412, this humble peasant girl received heavenly visions that would lead her to change the course of a nation. Guided by St. Michael, St. Catherine, and St. Margaret, Joan answered God's call to save France during one of its darkest hours. In this episode from The Lives of the Saints by Father Alban Butler, we explore the remarkable life of St. Joan of Arc—from her childhood piety and mystical visions to her military victories, tragic trial, martyrdom, rehabilitation, and eventual canonization by the Catholic Church. Discover the truth behind the legends and misconceptions surrounding Joan of Arc and learn why she remains a powerful example of obedience to God's will, courage in adversity, and unwavering faith. 📖 Featured Saint: St. Joan of Arc 📅 Feast Day: May 30 ⛪ Patron Saint of France, soldiers, military personnel, and those facing difficult trials 00:00 Introduction 00:24 Birth and Childhood of St. Joan of Arc 01:45 France in Crisis During the Hundred Years' War 02:36 Joan's First Heavenly Visions 03:21 The Divine Mission Begins 04:20 Meeting King Charles VII 05:02 Examination by Theologians 05:17 Preparing for Battle 05:33 The Liberation of Orléans 06:18 Victory at Patay 06:40 Coronation of Charles VII at Reims 06:58 Failed Attack on Paris 07:20 Defense of Compiègne 07:43 Capture by the Burgundians 08:16 Sold to the English 08:57 The Trial of St. Joan of Arc 10:01 Condemnation and Recantation 10:43 Joan's Final Testimony 11:08 Martyrdom at Rouen 11:47 Rehabilitation by the Church 12:03 Canonization in 1920 12:17 Myths and Legends About Joan of Arc 13:04 Who Was the Real St. Joan of Arc? 13:55 Conclusion https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/may/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
