About this title

Review:

Richard McSorley, Georgetown Center for Peace Studies Oscar Romero was a saint in our midst. His life gives an example of how to share the burdens of the poor and oppressed - and the price we may have to pay for doing so. Presbyterian Outlook The excerpts gathered in this volume have a luminous power...It is the strange power of preaching fed by love for God, church, friend, and foe. Robert McAfee Brown, Pacific School of Religion These homilies reveal lines of poetic beauty describing a cruel and ugly world...Here is indomitable courage and utter humility. Here is a message of hope.
