135 Joan of Arc and “The Dwarf” – Passions and Virtue

In this episode we continue talking about human passions and how they interact with our will, our deliberate choices, and how we can train our passions to make them be more in line with what is morally good and virtuous. I present an example taken from the life of St. Joan of Arc, that shows how human passions can affect us positively and help make good decisions. I hope you like this powerful and moving example of a humble soldier and a great saint!
