Here&#8217;s a quote from him (from the Catholic World Report)<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mark Twain was still alive when the Church beatified Joan of Arc in 1909. To a certain extent, his novel remains a puzzling act of devotion from a complicated man. For the great American author, there was no one like St. Joan. He marveled at her confidence in God\u2019s Will, her courage, her simplicity. And in her he saw an example for all time. We can hear Twain\u2019s own voice in the words of his narrator describing Joan: \u201cIt took six thousand years to produce her; her like will not be seen in the earth again in fifty thousand. Such is my opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/nikossteves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/og-joan-of-arc-1858.jpg\" alt=\"Icon of Joan of Arc\" class=\"wp-image-1853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nikossteves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/og-joan-of-arc-1858.jpg 700w, https:\/\/nikossteves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/og-joan-of-arc-1858-300x154.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Image of Joan of Arc from- thefamouspeople.org<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Joan_of_Arc\">Joan of Arc &#8211; Detailed History (Wikipedia.com)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:67px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I value feedback through the comments section here<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OR- Better via email at <a href=\"mailto:NikosSteves@gmail.com\">NikosSteves@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Constant Procession tells of key apparitions of the Virgin Mary since she\npassed on from the world and how she serves humanity through Christianity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The origin of these podcasts began with my book <em>Constant Procession.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(An e-book copy of the book can be found here on the website.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Constant Procession; the podcast; is published here every Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve read the entire book from cover to cover (Installments 93-110)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nikossteves.com\/?p=516\">To listen from Installment\n93<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are a lot of things that we have gone without while in isolation during this Springtime 2020, but the Great 50 Day Feast of Easter, culminating with Pentecost provides us a great counterpoint to the anxiety of the unknown.
