St. Mary Magdalene and the Royal House of New Bethany
Mystical France: The Royal Clearing of Being
Mystical France is a clearing of Being taking hold of the soul. It opens where divine light pierces the night of faith and reveals a land both interior and eternal. Rooted in the Catholic faith and the grace of the sacraments, it flowers through True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and the combined spirituality of Joan of Arc and Thérèse of Lisieux.
This path welcomes every pilgrim who desires to journey toward the Kingdom of God in the company of Mary and the saints. Though each traveler experiences the way uniquely, the road itself is one—the luminous trail of sanctity traced by Heaven through the hearts of its faithful.
Within the alethic aura of this way, our story unfolds as revelation and as myth—an irresistible call that draws us toward our divine destiny. Mystical France rises quietly within the pure night of faith, where the unseen begins to gleam with meaning and love.
In Mystical France we find our true homeland: a heavenly family gathered beneath the radiant Queenship of Mary. Through her reign shines a royal lineage flowing from Mary Magdalene, the first witness of the Resurrection and the herald of divine intimacy.
From the silent splendor of Magdalene’s being—illumined by the Holy Trinity—this royal line courses through our lives like a hidden river. The Kingdom for which Christ taught us to pray—“Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven”—manifests through this spirituality as a royal household, a New Bethany entrusted to the Magdalene. There, the faithful sister of Jesus and Mary reigns in love from the foot of the Cross to the tomb of Resurrection, and finally to the shores of Provence.
It is from her, our royal patroness and intercessor, that we—though mere sinners—receive our spiritual inheritance in Mystical France. To this supernatural crowning, Joan of Arc leads us with the white banner of her courage, guiding us through the shimmering silence of grace. Joined with the tender heart of Thérèse, she reveals that through the hearts of both maidens we become, by divine adoption, spiritual kings and queens of France—heirs to the Kingdom of Love itself.
