Oscar Romero Quotes

As you may have read in our previous post, Cántico de la Mujer Latina will be serving as music ministers in two Downriver parishes in the Archdiocese of Detroit during Hispanic Heritage month. Some of the music we will be using is taken from the collection, "Misa Salvadorena." This music is based on the homilies of martyred Archbishop, Oscar Romero.

I came across an interesting blog entry and thought you might appreciate it. Visit the link below to see some interesting quotes made by the man who was assassinated at the table of the Eucharist, including his final words before he died.
