May 30th St. Joan of Arc, Virgin



From Common of Virgins except:

Collect

O God, who in blessed Joan the Virgin didst wondrously raise up the faith in the defense of the nation, grant, we beseech thee, that through her intercession thy Church may enjoy perpetual peace and thy enemies be overcome:  Through.

Secret

O Lord, may these sacrifices of our salvation, confer upon us in difficult times that same courage which the example of blessed Joan so singularly demonstrated in various and sundry trials: that we may not hesitate to undergo the perils of battle in order that  our enemies might be repulsed: Through.

Post Communion

Fed with the bread from heaven, which so often nourished blessed Joan unto victory: grant, we beseech Thee, Almighty God, that this blessed food might make us victorious over our enemies: Through.
