Aspire not to have more but to be more - Oscar Romero
Oscar Romero was the archbishop of San Salvador in El Salvador from 1977 - 1980.
The humble, kind, courageous follower of Jesus was assassinated in March of 1980 while celebrating Mass at the chapel of Divine Providence Hospital.
He was martyred because he used his voice for the voiceless and used his heart and hands and feet to serve the poor.
He is my hero.
Here is some work I did about him for The Southern Poverty Law Center and their Learning for Justice project.
May we all be peaceful heroes like him.
