Adoration of St. Joan of Arc by J. William Fosdick

We rode now to the King’s lodgings, which was the Archbishop’s country palace; and he was presently ready, and we galloped off and took position at the head of the army. By this time the country-people were arriving in multitudes from every direction and massing themselves on both sides of the road to get sight of Joan—just as had been done every day since our first day’s march began. Our march now lay through the grassy plain, and those peasants made a dividing double border for that plain. They stretched right down through it, a broad belt of bright colors on each side of the road; for every peasant girl and woman in it had a white jacket on her body and a crimson skirt on the rest of her. Endless borders made of poppies and lilies stretching away in front of us—that is what it looked like. And that is the kind of lane we had been marching through all these days. Not a lane between multitudinous flowers standing upright on their stems—no, these flowers were always kneeling; kneeling, these human flowers, with their hands and faces lifted toward Joan of Arc, and the grateful tears streaming down. And all along, those closest to the road hugged her feet and kissed them and laid their wet cheeks fondly against them. I never, during all those days, saw any of either sex stand while she passed, nor any man keep his head covered. Afterward in the Great Trial these touching scenes were used as a weapon against her. She had been made an object of adoration by the people, and this was proof that she was a heretic—so claimed that unjust court.

«No es cómo comienzas, sino cómo terminas»

«Estoy seguro de que Dios, quien comenzó la buena obra en ustedes, la continuará hasta que quede completamente terminada el día que Cristo Jesús vuelva». Filipenses 1: 6, NTV

NO SUCEDE MUCHAS VECES QUE «el hombre más feliz de la tierra» se encuentre con «el más sabio de la tierra». Pero eso fue lo que, según Heródoto, sucedió hace muchos años, cuando Creso recibió la visita de Solón, el legendario legislador ateniense.

Creso fue rey de Lidia, Asia Menor, y poseía muchas riquezas. Cuenta Heródoto que un día Solón escuchó hablar de él, y decidió visitarlo. Entonces Creso aprovechó para mostrarle las riquezas de su reino, y para preguntarle quién era el hombre más feliz de la tierra. Su chasco fue grande cuando Solón le habló de Telo, un hombre pobre pero honesto, que se esforzó para brindar a sus hijos una buena educación, y que luego dio su vida por Atenas.

Ocultando su desilusión, Creso preguntó entonces a Solón quién era el segundo más feliz. De nuevo quedó chasqueado cuando Solón habló de dos jóvenes que perdieron a su padre cuando eran niños, pero que trabajaron arduamente para sostener a su madre y luego sirvieron honorablemente a Atenas.

Creso ya no pudo aguantar más.

-¿Por qué pones a esa gente pobre por encima del rey más rico del mundo?—preguntó.

—Porque no puedes decir si tu vida ha sido feliz o no hasta el final de tus días —respondió Solón--, pues no sabes qué desdicha puede despojarte de todo este esplendor.

Años después se levantó un poderoso conquistador llamado Ciro, quien destronó a Creso y lo tomó prisionero. El día de su ejecución, Creso comenzó a repetir el nombre de Solón, una y otra vez, y Ciro lo escuchó.

-¿Por qué mencionas tanto el nombre de Solón? —le preguntó Ciro.

Creso, muy arrepentido, le contó de la visita de Solón, y de sus palabras: «No puedes decir si tu vida ha sido feliz o no hasta el final...». Las palabras de Solón impresionaron profundamente a Ciro. ¿Podría ser que él también terminara sus días como Creso? Al final, decidió perdonarlo.*

¿Alguna lección para nosotros? Harry E. Fosdick la resume bien cuando escribe que «un buen comienzo jamás implica un buen final, pues las cualidades que capacitan a un hombre para comenzar no son las mismas que le permiten continuar hasta el fin» ** Dicho de otra manera, «no es cómo comienzas, sino Cómo terminas». El rey Saúl empezó bien, pero terminó mal. Saulo de Tarso comenzó mal, pero terminó bien. Todo depende de en manos de quién colocas tu vida. Si la entregas a Jesucristo, la promesa es que Aquel que comenzó en ti la buena obra, la completará.

Padre celestial, continúa trabajando en mi corazón hasta que la buena obra que comenzaste en mi quede completamente terminada.

*William J. Bennett, The Book of Virtues, Simon & Schuster, 1993, pp. 135-137.

**Citado por Norval F Pease, En esto pensad, Pacific Press, 1970, p. 75.

J. William Fosdick, The Adoration of St. Joan of Arc (1896)

Fosdick made this relief to appeal to wealthy industrialists who favored richly designed interiors and uplifting art. He tapped into the fantasy of a more spiritual past, and when the screen was exhibited, it was praised for craftsmanship that rivaled a medieval masterwork.

At the turn of the twentieth century, Joan of Arc was a popular symbol in American culture. Mark Twain wrote about her in 1896, Anna Hyatt Huntington created a sculpture of the martyr for Riverside Drive in New York, and George Bernard Shaw's famous play about her was first produced on Broadway in 1923. She could be a figure from the romantic past and an emblem of the "New Woman" in the modern world. Joan may have died for king and country—as the legend at the bottom of the screen records—but her symbolic power as a woman who took history into her hands also resonated among women fighting for the right to vote.
