St. Joan of Arc

5/30 – St. Joan of Arc (Trad) St. Michael the Archangel calls Sister Mary Ephrem “little Joan” – “When I came here, Father, I wanted something special to read and somehow couldn’t find what I wanted. So, in the end I chose Joan of Arc. I can see that the Holy Spirit directed me in this. Towards the end of the book, I read that St. Michael is sometimes called the Angel of Peace. I never knew that. Then I understood Who it was that had come to me (St. Michael)…He called me “little maid” and “little Joan”. He told me the “Big Maid” the “Big Joan”, as he called her had a great battle to fight, but though it was very great, that which I must fight is yet greater as it is mainly against the powers of evil, and besides the forces against all good are much greater now than they were then.” ” (Sister Mary Ephrem’s Letter to Archbishop Leibold – Feast of St. Michael 9.29.55)
