Oscar Romero: Relfections on His Life and Writings

by Marie Dennis, Renny Golden and Scott Wright

"It is an extraordinary privilege to read this account of Oscar Romero because it reveals his deep inner spirit. To know him in this way becomes a call to find the face of God in the poor as he did and to live the way of gospel love, whatever the cost. Romero is surely a 'spiritual master' of this century." Presents the spirituality of Oscar Romero through his life, words and Gospel witness. Romero was a pastor, showing compassion to the poor and marginalized in El Salvador. But he was also a prophet, illuminating the conflictive history of the Salvadoran people with the light of the Gospel. He was, finally, a martyr, mixing his blood with the blood of his people, offering his life out of love for the poor.
