Almighty God, who didst call thy servant Oscar Romero to be a voice for the voiceless poor, and to give his life as a seed of freedom and a sign of hope: Grant that, inspired by his sacrifice and the example of the martyrs of El Salvador, we may without fear or favor witness to thy Word who abideth, thy Word who is Life, even Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Spirit, be praise and glory now and for ever. Amen.
St Oscar Romero was assassinated #OTD 24 March 1980 while saying Mass in San Salvador Cathedral. He had been a champion of human rights and social justice, and an outspoken critic of the military regime. His memorial in Southwark Catholic Cathedral, London. pic.twitter.com/XVt9VBnWdO
