While walking through the snow and ice To church in bitter cold that night The pain that tore my soul apart Had lodged itself inside my heart This heart gives thanks in joy to one A saint I met when I was young Despite this great enduring grace A troubled look had skewed my face… Continue reading The Christmas Present
I have loved what you loved I have raised my eyes Been moved by your example Followed as you led Had faith because you did You cared about me You fought my battles for me And I miss you And honor you You shared your treasure With me Now I am filled with hope Now… Continue reading I have loved what you have loved
A quiet desert landscape fills my heart In solitude the stillness clears my view I long for nothing save our God out here The land of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux This place is real though being sight unseen An emptiness aglow with beauty quaint Out here desire for Jesus grows acute His resurrection shines so… Continue reading The Desert of St. Thérèse
Saint Joan of Arc and Saint Thérèse Are gifts from God through Mary's hands I did not know the great extent Nor just what Jesus really meant When first Our Lady He bestowed A love for her in me that flowed Until I could not hold inside The movements of this graceful tide To love… Continue reading I reach to tightly hold their hands
Royaume France, as a personal Marian, Magdalenian, Jehannian, Thérèsian devotion, confronts the ruling secular Hegelian zeitgeist at its roots. Our union of hearts through contemplation with St. Mary Magdalene at the foot of the Cross and on the shores of Provence, opens the gates of the eternal, unchanging heavens. We stand obtusely to the world,… Continue reading Royaume France
Thirty-five years ago today, the Feast Day of St. Thérèse, I received the grace of the Great Event, my instantaneous conversion to the Church and the Eucharistic, through the heart of St. Thérèse.

The knowledge of God is revealed in Royaume France through the spiritual genus of St. Mary Magdalene’s House of New Bethany, which is the mystical Kingdom of Our Lady’s Catholic and Royal France, along with the more specific species of the Kingdom blessed of St. Joan and St. Thérèse. This is Edith Stein’s phenomenology through… Continue reading St. Thérèse’s interpretation of Joan of Arc is the essence of our devotion to St. Joan
We walk the same path but experience things differently. We observe different things and form different judgements. This is experiencing the objective (path) in a subjective manner (our own judgements and viewpoints as we walk the path with others). In the science of Royaume France, we seek not our own point of view, but that… Continue reading Empathic devotion to St. Joan and St. Thérèse
I had a breakthrough in the systematic modeling of Royaume France. The breakthrough came through a meditative reflection on the chapters, The Science of Royaume France, and The knowledge of God. Three key material causes of our formation in the Kingdom blessed of St. Joan and St. Thérèse came into sharp focus. These are the… Continue reading How we are spiritually formed in the Kingdom blessed of St. Joan and St. Thérèse
The fifth phase of the Le Royaume Program is understanding and the reintegration of our intellect with our newly created heart. To engage our intellect in Le Royaume is to direct it philosophically in accord with the movement of the Dove and Rose heart as inspired by St. Joan of Arc and St. Thérèse. Ours… Continue reading The Le Royaume Program – Phase 5 – Beyond the Counterrevolution with St. Joan of Arc
