Feast of St. Peter Claver  (1580 – 1896)

On evangelizing to the poor, needy, and sick:

 “This was how we spoke to them, not with words but with our hands and our actions. Then, we sat, or rather knelt, beside them and bathed their faces and bodies with wine. After this we began an elementary instruction about baptism, that is, the wonderful effects of this sacrament on the body and soul.”

Today’s Reflection:

Christ-like behavior toward others tends toward Christ-filled understanding in others. To whom am I being called to exhibit Christ-like behavior today?
