I must perform all my actions through Mary, with Mary, and for Mary. I am and will always be her slave of love. Mary is my Mother, I belong to her. Mary is my Queen, I obey her. Mary is my Mistress, I serve her. Mary is my Teacher, I listen to her. Mary is my Model, I imitate her. Mary is my Star, I follow her. Mary is my Support, I rely on her. Mary is my Strength, I am strong with her. Mary is my Refuge, I seek shelter in her.

St. Joan of Valois
1. She was betrothed at the age of two months. Parents, thanks for NOT keeping up that tradition...
2. I can't say her husband was such a great guy. In addition to going into the marriage for political reasons, he also found St. Joan not that attractive for a wife. His solution was an annulment. She was opposed to the annulment because she recognized that the marriage was valid, but he still got his way.
3. St. Joan then founded the Order of the Annunciation lived as a religious for the rest of her life.
