Do you know whether or not you are in God's grace? Joan: If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me.

I was in my thirteenth year when I heard a voice from God to help me govern my conduct. And the first time I was very much afraid.

If I am not, may God place me there; if I am, may God so keep me. I should be the saddest in all the world if I knew that I were not in the grace of God. But if I were in a state of sin, do you think the Voice would come to me? I would that every one could hear the Voice as I hear it.

[Responding to trick query about whether she believed herself in a state of grace:] If I am not, may it please God to bring me into it; if I am, may He preserve me in it.

I fear nothing for God is with me!

Alas! that my body, clean and whole, never been corrupted, today must be consumed and burnt to ashes!

I saw them with my bodily eyes as clearly as I see you. And when they departed, I used to weep and wish they would take me with them.
