The Call of St. Joan
Here is a fascinating article about Bastien-Lepage's painting of St. Joan's mystical call, with her saints peering through the fruit trees. I read somewhere once that St. Joan often heard her voices while the church bells were ringing. She loved for the bells to ring and asked that they be pealed during Compline.

Off topic again sorry Elena. But did you see the showdown on 'The View' between Rosie and Elisabeth?
ReplyDeleteI have a snippet from the YouTube of the argument between these two commentators.Plus my own thoughts on it!
I wish Rosie O'Donnell would actually come and READ this blog to find out how a LADY behaves!
Take a peek and let me know?
Yours in Christ,
Marie
I will take a peek. I never watch that show, otherwise. But for you, Marie.....
