“At the end of your life they will judge you how you love others” – said Saint John of the Cross. Four centuries after his death, another son of Carmel Rafał Kalinowski, receives the glory of the altars in heaven. Let these words said by St. John of the Cross become for us as the light of our earthly existence. We are approaching the end of the 20th century, the second millennium after Christ. During this period, the Church is particularly trying to reveal the Christian roots of Europe. All saints testify most fully of these roots. They also say: Europeans do not let cut away from these roots, if the tree is continuing to grow according to the measure of man’s eternal destiny that is God. ”
