Oscar Romero beatified on Saturday 23rd May
In his own words......
In 1941 he wrote “The poor are the incarnation of Christ. Through their tattered clothing, their dark gazes, their festering sores, the laughter of the mentally ill....the charitable soul discovers and venerated Christ”
On Pentecost Sunday 38 years ago he said “Today is the day the Church was inaugurated. It is an opportunity to remind ourselves of what the Church is. We are not a political, sociological or economic power. We are the little David who goes out to meet Goliath, who trust in him arms, his power and wealth. We trust in the name of the Lord. Our smallness will become great and powerful if we are humble, loving and trusting in the name of the Lord”
What good are beautiful highways and airports, beautiful buildings full of spacious apartments, if they are only put together with the blood of the poor, who are not going to enjoy them?” (16th July 1977)
On September 10th 1978 he said “many would like the poor to keep on saying that it is God’s will for them to live that way. But it is not God’s will for some to have everything and others to have nothing. That cannot be of God. God’s will is that all his children be happy”
Moments before he was killed on 24th March 1980 he said “those who surrender to the service of the poor through the love of Christ, will live like the grains of wheat that dies. It only apparently dies. If it were not to die, it would remain a solitary grain. The harvest comes because of the grain that dies”.
