In 1940s, deep in Nazi-occupied France, a young woman known by the code name “Hélène” led armed resistance fighters through forests, sabotage missions, and ambushes. Her real name was Nancy Wake, and to the Gestapo, she was “the White Mouse”, a nickname born from her uncanny ability to slip through their traps time and again. By the war’s end, she would become the most decorated Allied servicewoman of World War II.

Born in New Zealand in 1912 and raised in Australia, Wake was living in Marseille when the war broke out. After witnessing Nazi brutality in Vienna in the 1930s, she vowed to fight them by any means necessary. When France fell, she joined the Resistance as a courier, ferrying messages, money, and people across borders under the cover of night. Her beauty and charm made her an unlikely spy, German officers often dismissed her as harmless, but she quickly became one of the most wanted women in France. By 1943, the Gestapo had placed a five-million-franc bounty on her head.

In 1944, Wake parachuted into the Auvergne region of central France as part of the British Special Operations Executive (SOE). Her mission: to arm and coordinate thousands of Maquis guerrillas ahead of the Allied invasion. The drop was perilous, she was caught in a tree and reportedly greeted her rescuers with, “Well, I hope none of you are going to be ungallant enough to leave me hanging here.” Over the next months, she proved as fearless as any soldier under her command.

Her leadership was tested during a German attack on her unit. As recorded in military reports, Wake took control after the male commander froze, rallying a 10-man section, leading them directly into enemy fire, and retreating in good order. The report praised her “exceptional courage and coolness,” noting that her actions saved the lives of two inexperienced American officers. On other missions, she led raids on Gestapo outposts, destroyed bridges, and sabotaged railway lines critical to the German supply chain. Her Maquis fighters once derailed a train carrying over 500 tons of German equipment, crippling operations in the region.

By the war’s end, Nancy Wake had earned decorations from five nations, including the George Medal from Britain, the Medal of Freedom from the United States, and the Légion d’Honneur from France. Yet despite her heroism, she remained modest about her exploits, saying only, “I hate wars and violence, but if they come, then I don’t see why we women should just wave our men goodbye and knit them balaclavas.” After the war, Wake worked as an intelligence officer and later as a diplomat, living to the age of 98. Her story endures not just as a tale of espionage and courage, but as proof that defiance can be its own form of warfare.

During her time with the Resistance, Nancy Wake once cycled over 300 miles in 72 hours through Nazi checkpoints to deliver a critical radio code, an endurance feat that remains legendary in SOE history.

Almighty God, we give you thanks for surrounding us, as daylight fades, with the brightness of the vesper light; and we implore you of your great mercy that, as you enfold us with the radiance of this light, so you would shine into our hearts the brightness of your Holy Spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Grant us, Lord, the lamp of charity which never fails, that it may burn in us and shed its light on those around us, and that by its brightness we may have a vision of that holy City, where dwells the true and never-failing Light, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Lord God Almighty, as you have taught us to call the evening, the morning, and the noonday one day; and have made the sun to know its going down: Dispel the darkness of our hearts, that by your brightness we may know you to be the true God and eternal light, living and reigning for ever and ever. Amen.

Seek him who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns deep darkness into the morning, and darkens the day into night; who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out upon the surface of the earth: The Lord is his name. Amen.

Amos 5:8

Ohio Jr. HIgh School set up a microphone in the hallway with a sign asking students to “tell us something good that happened today.”

Saw this article on Fox, and found it interesting about a woman “converting” from vegan to “regenerative” farming.

“Regenerative agriculture uses six principles,” she said. She checked them off: context (farming for the environment you’re in); minimizing soil disturbance; biodiversity; more living roots; fewer chemicals; and animal integration.”

“Nature is conservative”

KEEP PRAYING FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP

lilbirdee12’s prayer:

Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.

Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.

Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and his family as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace. 

Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall. Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.

We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.

And prayers up for all political prisoners. Prayers up for Julian Assange and for all the protesters of January 6 who were or are entrapped in DC.

Thank you Father, for Your love and the gift of Life.

A prayer for members of the CTH that they remain strong and clear thinking and that the site remain a bastion of freedom and continue to spread the facts of our current dilemma to millions in this country and across the globe. That the light of freedom inspired by our Creator and enshrined in our founding never be extinguished by acts of man.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
