She is perhaps best known for the 2000 single How Long Do I Get, which was extensively playlisted by UK radio stations.Biography
Raised in South London, Raissa met regular collaborators Paul Sandrone and Dan Birch while studying music in Bristol during the 1990s.This partnership has thus far produced three albums, including the critically acclaimed 1999 album Believer.Raissa is currently collaborating on a new album with Mark Horwood and Paul Sandrone.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.Raissa Maritain: Philosopher, Poet, MysticMICHAEL SHERWIN, O.Almost from the moment Jacques Maritain introduced himself to Raissa Oumansov they became inseparable.Oumansov gave her response without hesitation.Her tutor for the Baccalaureat
examinations had just asked her what, above all, she wanted to learn.It revealed that his young charge had a philosophical mind.Maritain did indeed have a philosophical mind.She viewed philosophy, however,
from the perspective of her Hasidic Jewish roots.She was searching to know the
truth about a personal God in the face of human suffering.Hasidim, that
Jewish mysticism which has its various aspects, sometimes leaning toward the intellect,
sometimes toward the emotions, .Did not God forewarn
them about it?Maritain was also to know them.Vera were intellectually quite gifted.It would
introduce her to the people who would shape her life and bring her to the Catholic
faith.Now that I knew (at least I dimly perceived it) how
unhappy or wicked men could be, I wondered if God really existed.But if He is good, how can He permit suffering?University of Paris she was seventeen years old and the
year was 1900.It was a time of great scientific achievement and the Sorbonne
was one of its centers.Marie and Pierre Curie, for example, had discovered radium
there only two years before.To her dismay, however, she soon discovered
that her professors were either strict materialists or simply did not pose for
themselves philosophical questions concerning truth and meaning.They were both students at the Sorbonne, he a year older than
she, and they both were searching for the meaning of their lives.Jacques Maritain
came from a family that embodied the values of the French Revolution.Maritain
was raised in a similar intellectual climate.He early discovered, however, what
many others of his generation would one day recognize: the metaphysical agnosticism
that was their heritage was too thin a soil for the sense of justice that burned
in their hearts.In the friendship that grew between them,
they undertook the search together.The philosophers at the Sorbonne were equally disappointing to them.And sadness pierced me, the bitter taste of the emptiness of a
soul which saw the lights go out, one by one.In such a case it would be better to die young through suicide than
to live an absurdity.Something, however, kept them from taking that final step.God in his
great mercy led them to Christ, to baptism in the Catholic Church and to the consolation
of the Eucharist.Their way to faith in Christ had many twists and turns.Upon meeting Bloy and his family,
they were even more impressed.Le
Salut par les Juifs (Salvation through the Jews).Bloy was perhaps
the most remarkable figure to arise in France at the twilight of the nineteenth
century.Paris and all nations
will have enough to do with hardening their sinews against death.This hyperbolic
assessment, so characteristic of Bloy, pointed out a real truth: something was
terribly wrong in Germany, and it was spreading.Semitism that was arising around him.Jews
were now in danger as an entire race.Remarkably, Bloy was writing this in 1916!He also spoke of a
coming renewal.Christians would have to suffer, but united to Christ their sufferings
would purify them and help many souls find the healing love of God.Jews were a sign that pointed to the Christ,
their fellow Jew who suffered with them.France prepare to walk with Christ the way of Calvary so that the Church
might be renewed.Jeanne Bloy
as her godparents.The years between their baptism and the outbreak
of the First World War were a time of spiritual gestation for the Maritains, and
for many others in Europe.Vera became Benedictine
oblates, establishing together a domestic community of prayer and study.Having received a bequest in support
of his work from a soldier killed at the front, the Maritains were able to buy
a home in Meudon, a village not far from Paris, and bring their plans to fruition.They could live a life of prayer and study, and make their home a center for Catholic
thought and culture, under the patronage of St.Their home became
a place where artists and intellectuals could find friendship and lively discussion.Under Archangel's black wingThe plan of God
unfolds.And the deceits and errors of todayTomorrow's
truth will serve.Some ships
dream of the universe; On shore the sheep stand drowsily.The world, serene, its beauty keeps.In
the meadow seeUnder the peach treeRoses glow,Then you appearAnd
the tears flowIn the thin airUpon your faceO messenger.The intellectual life,
therefore, must be fortified by the contemplative life if it is to make real progress
in discovering truth and in leading others to know and love the truth.From the earliest
days of her conversion she felt an intense call to contemplative prayer.Its zeal
must be purified and calmed and, by union with the divine Will, it must gather
strength from the depths.And everything
that can be saved will be saved.The journal also
provides the record of her awareness that the Lord was inviting her to accept
a share in his suffering.During silent prayer I feel inwardly solicited
to abandon myself to God, and not only solicited but effectively inclined
to do it, and do it, feeling that it is for a trial, for a suffering, for which
my consent is thus demanded.He who would know the depths of the spirit
or, if you will, the spirituality of being, begins by entering into himself.They encouraged the people of France to see the war in light
of the new France that could arise after the war.English
under the title France, My Country), a book that was smuggled into France
and read widely by the members of the resistance.She would tell the story of the Catholic revival in France as she
and Jacques had experienced it.She read them and revised them, often giving them greater clarity
and softening the harshness of his attacks.Maritain, We Have Been Friends Together, translated by
