One Minute Reflection – September 9 – The Memorial of St Peter Claver
Has not God chosen the poor in the world to be rich in faith and to be heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love him………….James 2:5
REFLECTION – “This was how we spoke to them, not with words but with our hands and our actions.  And in fact, convinced as they were that they had been brought here to be eaten, any other language would have proved utterly useless.  Then we sat, or rather knelt, beside them and bathed their faces and bodies.”…St Peter Claver SJ (1581-1654) “Slave of the Slaves”
PRAYER – God of mercy and love, You offer all peoples the dignity of sharing in your life. By the example and prayers of St Peter Claver, strengthen us to overcome all racial hatreds and to love each other as brothers and sisters.  We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.  St Peter Claver pray for us, amen
