Bazaar Set Up Begins
Sunday, September 19th - 8:00 - 12:30pm.
From a Letter by Saint Peter Claver Yesterday, May 30, 1627, on the feast of the Most Holy Trinity, numerous blacks, brought from the rivers of Africa,
disembarked from a large ship. Carrying two baskets of oranges, lemons, sweet biscuits, and I know not what else,
we hurried toward them. When we approached their quarters, we thought we were entering another Guinea. We
had to force our way through the crowd until we reached the sick. Large numbers of the sick were lying on the wet
ground or rather in puddles of mud. To prevent excessive dampness, someone had thought of building up a
mound with a mixture of tiles and broken pieces of bricks. This, then, was their couch, a very uncomfortable one
not only for that reason, but especially because they were naked, without any clothing to protect them.
We laid aside our cloaks, therefore, and brought from a warehouse whatever was handy to build a platform. In that
way we covered a space to which we at last transferred the sick, by forcing a passage through bands of slaves. Then
we divided the sick into two groups: one group my companion approached with an interpreter, while I addressed
the other group. There were two blacks, nearer death than life, already cold, whose pulse could scarcely be
detected. With the help of a tile we pulled some live coals together and placed them in the middle near the dying
men. Into this fire we tossed aromatics. Of these we had two wallets full, and we used them all up on this occasion.
Then, using our own cloaks, for they had nothing of this sort, and to ask the owners for others would have been a
waste of words, we provided for them a smoke treatment, by which they seemed to recover their warmth and the
breath of life. The joy in their eyes as they looked at us was something to see.
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 with wine. We made every effort to
encourage them with friendly gestures and displayed in their presence the emotions which somehow naturally
tend to hearten the sick.
After this we began an elementary instruction about baptism, that is, the wonderful effects of the sacrament on
body and soul. When by their answers to our questions they showed they had sufficiently understood this, we
went on to a more extensive instruction, namely, about the one God, who rewards and punishes each one
according to his merit, and the rest. We asked them to make an act of contrition and to manifest their detestation of
their sins. Finally, when they appeared sufficiently prepared, we declared to them the mysteries of the Trinity, the
Incarnation and the Passion. Showing them Christ fastened to the cross, as he is depicted on the baptismal font on
which streams of blood flow down from his wounds, we led them in reciting an act of contrition in their own
language.
Do you attend daily Mass at Assumption? Would you consider sitting with our middle school students
on Friday? We are in need of volunteers to sit amongst us at Mass on Friday and to gently guide and
model for our children appropriate Mass behavior. Middle School students will sit in the first 10 rows,
with one student on each end of the pew (aisle and window) and space available between them in each
pew. Pick a row, meet a few children and help us continue to grow disciples for Christ! Seeking volunteers to
help with 1-1 help with students reading, doing school work and helping them get organized. Days and times are
flexible. Email if you would be interested! Are you a reader for our Parish? Would you be willing to help our
student readers prepare for reading at the school Mass? Looking for volunteers who could help students each
week. Time commitment is less than hour and this could easily be done after a daily Mass.
