“Do you place these lights in honour of Saint Catherine, who has shewn herself to you, who has appeared to you?”
“Yes, I make no difference between the one who has appeared to me, and the one who is in heaven.”[[82]]
“Do you always do, always accomplish, what your Voices command you?”
“With all my power I accomplish the command that Our Lord sends me through my Voices, in so far as I understand them. My Voices command nothing but by the good pleasure of Our Lord.”
“In warfare, have you done nothing without counsel of your Voices?”
“I have already answered you thereon: read your book again well, and you will find it. At the request of the men-at-arms, there was an assault made before Paris, and, at the request of the King himself, one also before La Charité. These were neither against nor by the order of my Voices.”
“Have you never done anything against their command and will?”
“All that I could and knew how to do, I have done and accomplished to the best of my power. As to the matter of the fall from the keep of Beaurevoir, I did it against their command; but I could not control myself. When my Voices saw my need, and that I neither knew how, nor was able, to control myself, they saved my life and kept me from killing myself. Whatever things I did in my greatest undertakings, they always helped me; and that is a sign they are good spirits.”
“Have you no other sign that they are good spirits?”
“Saint Michael assured me of it before the Voices came to me.”
