The Violence of Love: Oscar Romero's Prophetic Voice
These selections from the sermons and writings of Archbishop Oscar Romero of San Salvador share the message of a holy prophet of modern times. Three short years transformed Archbishop Oscar Romero from a conservative defender of the status quo into one of the church's most outspoken voices of the oppressed. Though silenced by an assassin's bullet, his spirit—and the challenge of his life—lives on. He was beatified by Pope Francis in 2015.
A Testament of Faith and Courage
This collection captures the prophetic witness of Archbishop Romero during his final years in El Salvador. His sermons and writings reveal a spiritual leader who chose solidarity with the poor and marginalized over institutional comfort. The selections document his transformation and unwavering commitment to gospel justice, even in the face of death threats.
Essential Reading for Catholic Social Teaching
The Violence of Love serves as primary source material for understanding modern martyrdom and the church's preferential option for the poor. Romero's words address poverty, violence, and human dignity with theological depth and pastoral compassion. His beatification in 2015 confirmed his status as a model of Christian witness for the contemporary church.
Expert Translation and Context
