Jesus knows us individually, and is touched with the feeling of our infirmities. He knows the very house in which we live, the name of each occupant… the distress of everyone touches his heart. He came to draw all men to Himself. His Spirit moves on hearts to draw them. … He cares for each one as if there were no other on the face of the earth.
” I have loved thee with an everlasting love, therefore with loving kindness I have drawn thee.”
Joan of Arc (The Maid of Orleans), heard a voice telling her to
meet with Charles VII and help lift the siege by the English on Orleans.
The English then left Orleans in May 1429.
Then during a sortie in May 1430 Joan of Arc was captured and sold to the king of England. She was accused of heresy and tried by an ecclesiastical court. She was burned alive in the old market place in Rouen on 30 May 1431. The full story is fascinating and sad.
this statue of Joan of Arc. The memory of her in Orleans is marked, in many of the street names, shops and stained glass windows. Today throughout the world she is a symbol of not only courage and freedom, but also of self- sacrifice and resistance to the invader.
Inside the building, behind this statue of her, are some beautiful objects I asked to photograph…
Moreover more recently Orleans has been twinned with Dundee in Scotland since 1946: because of their help with the reconstruction of the city after the Second World War.
Orleans showed today its beauty in architecture and its unashamed willingness to remember conflict for peace both now and in the past.
Some plants in flower. Everything is so further ahead than in England.
👋 Orleans lovely to have met you.
