Our Father . . .

(Joan of Arc - found here)

“Our Father, who art in heaven, how far, far off is the hallowing of Thy name, how far off the coming of Thy Kingdom! The world is worse than ever. If only we could see the Sun of Justice rise. But, O God, forgive me for venturing to say it, Thy Kingdom seems to be going farther and farther away. Never has Thy name been so blasphemed nor Thy will treated with such contempt. Never has man been so disobedient. We have not yet enough saints upon earth; send us as many as we need, as many as are necessary to dishearten the enemy.”
~Words attributed to St. Joan of Arc by Charles Péguy
