Ten years ago we had a son for a year from Brazil...Breno. Well, he brought his parents now 10 years later to see the farm in America where he lived and learned about a Catholic Midwest farm family. He was a joy to have, and now we are meeting his parents for the first time too!
Nancy and Gus were the transportation to the farm, so grandma got some time with him and Ernie... Gus isn't too sure about it.
Nancy and I sat at the table before breakfast this morning, reading about ST Peter Claver, and marveling how he served the African slaves in the 1600s. He recognized that they were human beings with needs and ministered to them... "The slave of the African forever." We need to pray to him as the carry over of disrespect has continued to this day for many African Americans... they have still the damage done to them as they were stolen from their homeland and made slaves with no worth other than a possession.... How deep does that go from generation to generation. St Peter Claver intercede for your beloved Africans! Jesus, we trust in you! Amen and Halleluia!
Thank you for bringing Breno and his parents. May the blessings of family grow and grow to embrace many. Bless-bless, Barb
