Oscar Romero to be a Saint!

“If God accepts the sacrifice of my life, may my death be for the freedom of my people. A bishop will die, but the Church of God, which is the people, will never perish. I do not believe in death without resurrection. If they kill me, I will rise again in the people of El Salvador.” ~ Oscar Romero

“We suffer with those who have disappeared, those who have had to flee their homes, and those who have been tortured.” ~ Oscar Romero

“Let us not tire of preaching love; it is the force that will overcome the world. Let us not tire of preaching love. Though we see that waves of violence succeed in drowning the fire of Christian love, love must win out; it is the only thing that can.” ~ Oscar Romero
