Romero’s Glasses

Faith

Hope


People


A hero


Oscar Romero


Protecting poor, oppressed people


From unimaginable hatred and violence


Dying but not killing, denying guns their power, risking the violence of love


Conserving tradition at first for the greatest, seeing through your glasses at last for the least, feeling the hunger of unpaid workers, knowing poverty


Holding the tears of the disappeared, calling all to view the body of a slain priest


Building up humanity, tearing down injustice


“In the name of God, stop killing...”


Death, crucifixion


Life again


People


Love


Peace
