[Sundaycommunity] TODAY, FEB 24th, IS THE FEAST DAY OF SAINT OSCAR ROMERO, AND THIS IS A VERY "ROMERIAN" COMMUNITY

[Tina Neves]

Thank you very much for "bringing" St Oscar Romero...to whom I pray
everyday...
Oscar Romero was killled  on the 24th of March. when he was celebrating the
Eucharist
Words of Bishop Casaldaliga (another social justice advocate and poet ):

El angel del Senhor anuncio en la vespera...
El coracon de el Salvador marcaba
24th de Marzo y de agonia..."

from Casaldaliga poem. A beautiful poem but in spanish

Every year I used to participate in some kind of celebration here in
Toronto...
I have a great estime and admiration for S.Oscar Romero!
Tina
