Roman Catholic Womenpriests: Cloud of Witnesses Retreat

Today let us continue our reflections and prayer and focus on Joan of Arc as one of our great saints. Here is an intercession that I found in Joan Chittister's book, Life Ablaze, A Woman's Novena. (pg. 13)
"God of Strength, may the spirit of fortitude that filled Joan of Arc fill the women [and men] of our day as well so that your will may come to pass whatever the situation and wherever the evil that seeks to deter it. Give us the courage to persist in the face of defeat and to continue in the face of weariness so that what you will for creation may, in the end, triumph over lesser goals."
Please enjoy this contemplative piece of music, and may the grace and love of our Creator God inspire you and our bishops elect with the same courage of Joan of Arc. Amen.
