🚦 Rating: 7+
Jeanne is a role model of charity. She sees the injustice and poverty of the world and steadfastly works to care for those in need. She cares for the sick, shelters the homeless, and begs for alms for the poor, even at personal cost. She remains hopeful through loss and delay, and her humility guides her actions. She embraces service and through it, her faith and generosity grow. This series contains moments of danger and intensity, including raised voices. Characters face death from illness, abandonment, and poverty; a woman describes a fatal tumor; a man strikes Jeanne; and authority figures unjustly remove her from leadership and obscure her role as a founder.

I probably stayed at my spinning wheel longer than I should have, but I want to get those skeins of yarn finished so I can sell them.

You will. Your yarn is not only the best in Saint-Servan, but much in demand.
Fanchon1:08
Thanks be to God.
Jeanne Jugan1:09
But you shouldn't tire yourself in the process.
Fanchon1:12
Ha, that's the pot calling the kettle black [laughs].

I suppose you're right. Meanwhile, when I'm out in the marketplace selling my cheese curds, calling, "Curds, who wants curds?" the little street children run around crying, "Curds,
