We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that. This enables us to do something, and to do it very well. It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way, an opportunity for the Lord's grace to enter and do the rest.
Oscar RomeroWhen we speak for the poor, please note that we do not take sides with one social class. What we do is invite all social classes, rich and poor, without distinction, saying to everyone let us take seriously the cause of the poor as though it were our own.
Oscar RomeroIf some day they take the radio station away from us, if they close down our newspaper, if they donโt let us speak, if they kill all the priests and the bishop too, and you are left, a people without priests, each one of you must be Godโs microphone, each one of you must be a messenger, a prophet. The church will always exist as long as there is one baptized person. And that one baptized person who is left in the world is responsible before the world for holding aloft the banner of the Lordโs truth and of his divine justice.
Oscar Romero
