Life of Holiness of Saint Joan of Arc
Joan was startled to hear a heavenly voice speaking to her -- accompanied by a bright light that she could see clearly, despite the fact that the it was appearing in the middle of the day when sunlight was abundant. "The first time, I was terrified," Joan recalled. "The voice came to me about noon: it was summer, and I was in my father's garden."
After Michael identified himself, he told Joan to not be afraid. Joan said later: "It seemed to me a worthy voice, and I believed it was sent to me by God; after I had heard this voice the third time, I knew that it was the voice of an angel."
Michael's first message to Joan was about holiness, since living a holy life was a vital part of Joan's preparation to fulfill the mission God had in mind for her. "Above all, Saint Michael told me that I I must be a good child, and that God would help me," said Joan. "He taught me to behave rightly and go often to church."

“Chant à Sainte Jeanne d’Arc” was a poem
written by Saint Thérèse of Lisieux on 8 May 1894,
later it was set to music by Vincent Lecornier. The poem briefly tells the story of Joan of Arc, but is above all a call to the Saint to help and pray for the people of France.
Joan of Arc was not canonized until 1920 and so during Saint Thérèse’s lifetime the revered Frenchwoman was not officially regarded as a saint. However, the cause for Joan of Arc’s canonization was very active and received more recognition in 1894, dubbed the “Year of Joan of Arc” in France, which culminated in Pope Leo XIII’s declaration of Joan as “venerable.”
