O God, You called St. Peter Claver,
to minister to the slaves of West Africa
that he might help them survive, and
blessed him with marvelous patience and charity.
Now, listen to his prayers on our behalf,
grant that we seek only the things
which are of Jesus Christ, and thereby
love our neighbor in deed and in truth.
Through the same Christ our Lord,
who with You and the Holy Spirit
lives and reigns forever and ever
Amen.
