Would, should, could....?

Who can say who deserves what and when? The result is not in our hands and is beyond our understanding.

A little ‘intro’ to a very strange figure of the French History, maybe the strangest ever – Joan of Arc called ‘The Maid of Orleans’ (AC 1412-1431) - born as a peasant girl, died at the age of 19:

"Consider this unique and imposing distinction. Since the writing of human history began, Joan of Arc is the only person, of either sex, who has ever held supreme command of the military forces of a nation at the age of seventeen." (Louis Kossuth)

And now Joan of Arc in her own words: …
"Hope in God. If you have good hope and faith in Him, you shall be delivered from your enemies."
"I come, sent by God. I have no business here. I pray you, send me back to God from whom I am come."
When asked if she is in God's grace: "If I am not, God puts me there, and if I am, God keeps me there!"
"It lies with the Lord to make revelations to whom He pleases."
"The offenses that you bring against me I have not committed: as for the rest, I refer it to our Lord."
