		Peter obeyed, and in 1610 landed at Cartagena, where for forty-four years he was the Apostle of the negro slaves.
		Trained in the school of Père Alfonso de Sandoval, a wonderful missionary, Peter declared himself "the slave of the negroes forever", and thenceforth his life was one that confounds egotism by its superhuman charity.
		Claver went to each, cared for him, and showed him kindness, and made him understand that henceforth he was his defender and father.

	Fr. Hardon Archives - Saint Peter Claver - Jesuit Saint
		Peter Claver teaches us and the few letters we have of his and the many conversations that contemporaries of his remember, Claver had a keen sense of God's providence.
		Claver recognized God's providence in the fact that there was such inhuman cruelty as the slave trade we've described, that God does not want the sin that those slave traders surely committed; but God did want – it was Claver's logic – others, including himself, to witness this inhumanity and do something about it.
		Claver's work was humiliating because those with whom we labor, we identify with and you may be sure – I don't have to read this, I know it – you may be sure that of an evening when Peter Claver came back to his Jesuit residence, he stank, what else.
