                                                   Joan's "Deep France"





 Even 600 years later, Joan still attracts Catholics,
Protestants and others. Indeed, Joan of Arc speaks to
everyone.


God willing, in June, 2023 we will again lead a Joan of Arc pilgrimage to


France. This will be our thirteenth opportunity for taking a group on this


fascinating journey, and we are especially looking forward to this one. Our travel


philosophy remains the same - one of going back to the essentials, of simplicity, of


quality time in some places instead of 'rush-rush' in many. Although we will indeed


see much, we want to experience the places we visit more as spiritual travelers than


as consumers, to first see them through the eyes of believers and/or seekers, and


secondly from such perspectives as historical, architectural, sociological, touristic,


etc. Consequently, we will again purposely remain a small group.


Before going to the itinerary, let's take a quick glance at Joan of Arc. Did


you know that



- Joan of Arc is the most attested person in history up to the 16th century. As Sir


Arthur Conan Doyle (author of Sherlock Holmes) states, next to the Christ, the


highest spiritual being of whom we have any exact record upon this earth is the


girl Jeanne.


- at 17 years old, Joan of Arc remains the youngest supreme military commander in


history, male or female. Louis Kossuth says: Consider this unique and imposing


distinction. Since the writing of human history began, Joan of Arc is the only


person, of either sex, who has ever held supreme command of the military forces of


a nation at the age of seventeen. Mr. Kossuth (1802-1894) was Regent-President of Hungary

in 1849. He was widely honored during his lifetime, including in the United Kingdom and the United

States, as a freedom fighter and bellwether of democracy in Europe.


- those who knew her from childhood frequently described her as simple and


good, frequenting the Church and Holy places. And they left us many specific


examples of her life while growing up in Domremy. For example: Often, when


she was in the fields and heard the bells ring, she would drop to her knees.

Dominique Jean Waterin, laborer of Greux, Trial of Nullification, 1456
