Oscar Romero, a prophet of our times!

A Miracle of Sorts...23rd Feb!


For a while now I have been thinking of writing a piece on Oscar Romero whose annual remembrance fall this day, next month. And finally yesterday, I forced myself to sit down and pen it. And what a day to start - a coincidence? I prefer to call it a miracle!

23rd February, 1977 - Oscar Romero took up the Archbishopric of San Salvador and that was the beginning of the martyrdom of this great prophet of our times. When he was killed on March 24, 1980 he had already made the Church in El Salvador true to its original image: the image of the prophet Christ!
