  1. St. Raphael Kalinowski: From Siberia to Carmel

    The time for [Kalinowski’s departure for Siberia] duly arrived. He took with him into exile a copy of the New Testament together with the book of Job and the Psalms, the Imitation of Christ, and his crucifix. Having in mind the biblical command (‘pack your bag for exile’ – Jer 46:19), Kalinowski relates: “On June 29, 1864, the long terrible march began.”

    Father Timothy Tierney, O.C.D.

    Saint Raphael Kalinowski’s journey from forced exile in Siberia to the cloisters of Carmel is a testament to the transformative power of faith. His life exemplifies perseverance, trust in God, and the ability to find meaning even in the harshest trials. As we celebrate his feast day, we reflect on his remarkable story and the spiritual depth that carried him through this journey.

    On the solemn feast of Saints Peter and Paul, June 29, 1864, Józef Kalinowski began his ten-month journey into exile. Crowded into train cars with fellow prisoners, he described the scene as resembling a funeral procession. Flowers were thrown onto the train by onlookers—a gesture of farewell that symbolized both sorrow and hope.

    Despite the harrowing conditions, Józef carried with him a spiritual arsenal: the Scriptures, The Imitation of Christ, and a crucifix. These companions sustained him, shaping his faith and preparing him for his future mission as a Carmelite friar and reformer.

    Saint Raphael’s time in Siberia planted the seeds of his spiritual renewal, which later bore fruit in his Carmelite vocation and his restoration of the Teresian Carmel in Poland. His story of endurance and trust in God continues to inspire Carmelites today.

  5. The Black Crows is one of my favorite bands. Are they perfect? Nope. Full of their own family drama. But their music is soulful. I've seen them play twice, and also saw The Chris Robinson Brotherhood when the Robinson Brothers were fueding. I also say Rich Robinson play during that time. The Black Crows are back together. I'm sure their brotherly relationship isn't 100% perfect, but must be good enough to play together again. I'm looking forward to seeing them live in St. Louis, MO later this month.
