Feast-day of Peter Claver 9th
September.
Peter Claver joined the Jesuits
as a young Spaniard and he left his homeland in 1610 to be a missionary in what
is now called Colombia. At this time the city of Cartegena
was the centre of the infamous slave trade where 10,000 slaves per year crossed
the Atlantic from West Africa. The travel conditions were so bad than an
estimated one third of the passengers died in transit. As these slaves had no
toilet facilities and were standing in their own excrement for the six week
long journey, they
were covered in sores of all kinds. So Peter Claver would give them medicine,
food, bread,
brandy and fruit. He availed of the help of interpreters to communicate to them
their dignity as God's children. During the 40 years of his ministry in Cartegena he instructed and baptised
an estimated 300,000 slaves.

Hymn
This is the day, this is the day.
This is the day that the Lord has made.
That the Lord has made,
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
That the Lord has made. This is the day,
this is the day.
We will rejoice, We will rejoice,
That the Lord has made.
And be glad in it, and be glad in it.
Offertory:
Be still for the
presence of the Lord. Be still for
the glory of the Lord
The Holy One is
here. Is shining all around.
Come bow before
Him now He burns
with holy fire.
With reverence and fear. With splendor he is crowned.
In him no sin is
found. How
awesome is the sight.
We stand on holy
ground. Our radiant King of light.
Be still for the
presence of the Lord Be still the glory of the Lord
The Holy one is
here Is
shining all around..
Communion
Lay your hands gently upon us, You
were sent to free the broken hearted.
Let their touch render your peace, You were
sent to give sight to the blind.
Let them bring your forgiveness and You desire to
heal all our illness.

Take this day, make it yours Dominus tecum. Mother of Christ, Mother of mine,
and fill me with your love. Benedicta tu. Present
them to my Lord.

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
T’was grace that
taught my heart to fear,
that saved a wretch
like me. and grace my fears
relieved.
I once was lost but now I’m found, How precious did
that grace appear
was blind, but now I
see. the hour I first
believed
