Joan is seen speaking with saints who encourage her to follow God’s will. She is afraid but is encouraged to have faith in God’s Providence guiding her.

Some elements of intensity include her father shouting at her, disbelieving her dreams, and ordering her to stay home. Faithful to the historical record, Joan is depicted following the saint’s commands and does not obey her father’s yelling.

🚦 Rating: Everyone

Joan is a pious, sweet French girl who loves Our Lady, Mary. She is seen praying, gardening, and talking about God.

There is talk of war, but nothing intense is mentioned or implied. Mild insults are tossed about in the crowd.

This episode is rated “Everyone” but other episodes in this series are rated “7+.” You may not want to begin this series if your child is very sensitive to depictions of war or dramatic arguments between Joan and the French generals which occur in later episodes.

This episode focuses on themes of family, vocation, and serving God. An angelic visitor visits Patrick in a dream, calling him back to Ireland. Because it is risky to return and evangelize the Pagan Irish, it leads to conflict with Patrick’s family, who is scared that he is going back to Ireland and endangering his life. Some moments of intense argument with his family.

There are touching moments between Patrick and his sister Darerca, who encourages Patrick to risk everything on God and follow where he thinks God is calling him, even if it means leaving his family and safety for the salvation of souls. Positive and affirming portrayal of father and son relationship.
