Scientists sequence a woolly rhino genome from a 14,400-year-old wolf’s stomach

Fortunately for paleogeneticists, wolf puppies don’t chew their food thoroughly.

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.

Il cuore della taiga nel macigno in bilico sule precarie alture siberiane

Joseph Kalinowski knew better than anyone else the strength of the Czarist army, and he also knew that if an insurrection broke out it would fail.

“It was all too clear to his mind’s eye what would happen in a struggle of unarmed people against the power of the Russian government, which could command enormous armies.”

He was convinced that Poland “needed sweat rather than shedding of blood; for already too much blood has been spilled.” Conscious of all this, he continually asked himself:

“Can I remain passive when so many people have sacrificed everything for this cause, undoubtedly a national cause?” He finally decided to join the insurrectionists, even agreeing to become War Minister for the region of Vilnius. […]

After being spied on by the Russians for some time, Kalinowski was arrested on the night of March 24–25, 1864, and taken to a nearby Dominican monastery that had been transformed into a prison for the insurgents. He was the last of the leaders of the rebellion still at large. But his was a very serious crime: An ex-captain of the Czar’s army, he had become Minister of War against the Czar.

Hence the sentence passed by the Military Tribunal on June 2 was the most serious possible: capital punishment. Innumerable pressures from his family and friends, not to mention the great esteem in which he was held by nearly everyone, persuaded the Russians and even [the Czar’Governor General] himself to avoid the risk that he might come to be viewed as a martyr of the people; his death sentence was commuted to ten years of forced labor in Siberia.

On June 29, 1864, began the long terrible march that Kalinowski describes in these words:

“On the very feast of the solemnity of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, near midday, the long file that we composed snaked its way through the streets of Vilnius toward the train station. An enormous crowd lined the streets and Cossacks on horses kept back anyone who tried to come close to us; many people were watching from their windows. It looked like a funeral cortege. But from the beginning of the insurrection how many such convoys had preceded us! Among us were people of every age and every condition. . . . We took our places in the train cars, where they piled one person on top of another. . . . When the train departed, people moving along the heights that dominated the railway threw flowers on it as they do on graves of the dead at cemeteries.”

When Kalinowski went to Siberia he took a copy of the Gospels, The Imitation of Christ, and his crucifix.

Chapter 4, Insurrection against the Czarist government and exile in Siberia

Note: Father Praskiewicz notes: “It would be difficult to recount here all the details of his trip to Siberia, many of which can be learned from his letters. It’s enough to know that this trip lasted almost ten months. Their destination was the salt mines of Usole near Lake Baikal; they arrived there on April 15, 1865.” Kalinowski’s good example made a profound impression on guards and fellow prisoners alike. Biographer Father Timothy Tierney, O.C.D. indicates: “A Russian officer who had supervised them along a stage of the journey broke down in tears when he said goodbye to Kalinowski.”
