Archbishop Oscar Romero's Anniversary, March 24th. Archbishop Oscar Romero lived and preached in a time of national crisis in El Salvador. In the face of political violence, government repression, and the persecution of his church, he preached a gospel of peace, of love—even of one’s enemies, of forgiveness, and of justice. He understood—and never tired of saying—that injustice was at the root of the violence and that the violence of terrorism, repression, vengeance, and armed revolution would not end if that root was not torn out form world. -- Religious Task Force on Central America and Mexico -- Adapted from Education for Justice
