Today is the feast of St. Peter Claver to whom I have a special devotion. He spent his life serving African slaves in a city to the north of Latin America. They were left out and neglected to a point where they were expected to die of the neglect, hunger and disease that became their lot in the service of their Spanish and Portuguese “owners” who thought themselves well above the slaves in social standing and in the eyes of God. Claver was there to make hose delivering this misery think again.About the Speaker: Father Michael Kelly is a Jesuit priest and English language publisher of the respected Jesuit periodical, La Civilta Cattolica. For news in and about the Church in Asia, visit www.ucanews.com
