Prayers to Saint Joan of Arc

O Saint Joan of Arc,
daughter of Domrémy,
you heard the call of God
and left your home to follow Him.
Through the dangers of war
and the fear of death,
you remained faithful to Him.
You witnessed the horrors of war
and suffered injustice at the hands of men.
Pray for us, who so often fail to see
the harm we do to one another.
Ask God to help us recognize our faults
and forgive those who have wronged us.
Saint Joan of Arc, Virgin of Orléans.
All original prayers on this page were written by Faith and Verse.
When we are afraid,
obtain for us the courage to do what is right.
When we are misunderstood or treated unjustly,
pray that we may remain patient
and not let bitterness take hold of our hearts.
Saint Joan, who called upon Jesus
even in your final suffering,
pray that we may hold fast to Him
through every trial of this life,
and remain faithful until the end,
so that we may one day share with you
in the blessedness of His eternal kingdom.
Amen.
Dum voces superas excipit, expavet: Sed, fidens Domino, fortior in dies.
Hearing the heavenly voices, she was afraid; but trusting in the Lord, she grew stronger each day.
Prayer to Saint Joan of Arc for Courage in Fear
O Saint Joan of Arc,
you were afraid when you first heard God's call,
yet you found the courage to follow Him.
You faced the dangers of war,
the loneliness of captivity,
and the judgement of men who held your life in their hands.
Even when you feared the fire,
you turned to Christ in prayer.
Saint Joan, pray for us
when fear takes hold of our hearts,
when we must face what we cannot change,
or do what is right despite the suffering it may bring.
Ask God to obtain for us courage without pride,
patience when our strength is failing,
and the humility to seek His help
rather than trust in ourselves alone.
When fear makes us hesitate,
help us remember that we need not be fearless
to remain faithful.
And when our trials seem greater than we can bear,
pray that we may hold fast to Christ
through suffering, darkness, and the hour of death,
and never abandon Him,
who did not abandon you.
Amen.
Notre Sire Dieu premier servi.
Our Lord God must be served first.
Prayer to Saint Joan of Arc for Those Falsely Accused
Prayer to Saint Joan of Arc for Discernment of God's Will
Prayer to Saint Joan of Arc for
a Life of Prayer
Saint Joan of Arc,
you faced false accusations
and suffered an unjust condemnation.
Pray for those
whose innocence is doubted
and whose words are
twisted against them.
Ask God to bring the truth to light,
give them patience in their suffering,
and preserve their hearts from hatred.
May they find strength in Christ,
who Himself was condemned
though innocent.
Amen.
O Saint Joan of Arc,
you listened for God's call
and followed Him despite uncertainty and danger.
Pray for us when we struggle
to recognize the right path.
Ask God to grant us wisdom,
humility and patience in our decisions.
May we never mistake our own desires
for His will, nor let fear of hardship
keep us from doing what is right.
Amen.
O Saint Joan of Arc,
you endured captivity, isolation
and the judgement of powerful men.
Pray for those who stand alone,
who have been abandoned or misunderstood,
and who suffer for doing what is right.
Ask God to sustain their courage,
protect them from bitterness,
and strengthen their trust in Christ
when no earthly help seems near.
Amen.
Choris beatis Virginum adscripta, cives adiuva.
Numbered among the blessed choirs of virgins, help your people.
Prayer to Saint Joan of Arc for
Peace in Time of War
Prayer to Saint Joan of Arc
for Soldiers
Prayer to Saint Joan of Arc
for France
Saint Joan of Arc,
you witnessed the suffering of war
and carried your banner into battle
without wishing to kill.
Pray for those living amid war,
for the wounded, the displaced,
and families mourning their dead.
Ask God to restrain cruelty,
guide rulers towards justice,
and bring peace to suffering lands.
May mercy overcome hatred,
and may innocent lives be spared.
Amen.
O Saint Joan of Arc,
who knew the dangers of battle
and the burden of war,
pray for those who serve as soldiers.
Ask God to give them courage
without cruelty,
strength without pride,
and wisdom to distinguish duty from wrongdoing.
Protect their hearts from hatred,
comfort those who are afraid,
and pray that they may return in peace
to those who await them.
Amen.
O Saint Joan of Arc,
daughter of Domrémy,
Virgin of Orléans,
you who loved your homeland,
pray for France.
May God's mercy rest upon
its villages and cities,
its fields and hearths,
upon those who labour,
those who suffer,
and those who have no one
to care for them.
Kings and kingdoms pass away,
and earthly glory fades.
Pray that the people of France
may live in peace,
remember what is good,
and remain faithful to God.
Amen.
