Summary

Though Jeanne d'Arc could not write, her spirituality comes out clearly in her responses during her trial in Rouen. It is a total trust in God and in providential guidance in her life, and on the "cleansing of conscience" without which God's will cannot be discerned. Jeanne always trusted the Church as being the gate to the Kingdom of Paradise, even when the Church authorities were bent on having her burnt. The author has studied the responses she gave to her judges and the testimonies of those who knew her. He is convinced that she is an implicit message for today's women and men.
