St. Raphael Kalinowski

Little known outside his native Poland, Joseph Kalinowski (Raphael of St. Joseph, OCD) was born in 1835 and became, by turns, an engineer, a military officer, a leader in the 1863 insurrection against Russian domination, an exile in Siberia, a tutor, and eventually a Discalced Carmelite priest. He died in 1907 at the Carmelite Monastery he had founded in Wadowice, the city where Karol Wojtyla - the future Pope John Paul II who would later beatify and canonize him - was born only 13 years later. Today Raphael Kalinowski is remembered especially as a man of boundless charity in the Siberian prison cams, a restorer of Carmel in Poland, a skilled confessor and spiritual director, and a tireless promoter of Marian devotion and of unity between the Eastern and Western Churches.

The Following the Path of Divine Love

Sr. Maravillas was born at Madrid in 1891. She entered the El Escorial Carmel, Madrid on October 12, 1919. In 1924 she was inspired to found a Carmel at Cerro de Los Angeles, alongside the monument to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. From this foundation followed nine others in Spain and one in India. She always gave first place to prayer and self-sacrifice. She had a true, passionate zeal for the glory of God and the salvation of souls. Even while living a life of poverty in the cloister she helped those who were in need, initiating apostolic, social, and charitable works. In a particular way she helped those of her own order, priests, and other religious congregations. She was canonised on May 4, 2003 in Madrid.

Saint Chavara

The author projects a three dimensional image of the vibrant educationalist and spiritual guide of nineteenth century, St. Chavara. St. Chavara is the pioneering visionary of modern education, who as a pragmatic Guru initiated the public system of formal schooling in Kerala. The author attempts to study the educational and spiritual approach of St. Chavara. It is hoped that the sleek but elaborate literary work will inspire the readers to imbibe the vision and value based education of St. Chavara.
