Saint Oscar Romero was a prelate in El Salvador during a violent time in that country. He watched as fellow priests were murdered, and endured persecution by the military regime of the time. Murdered while saying Mass, he is considered to be one of the great modern martyrs. Despite all that he endured, he nevertheless preached love. On today’s Lenten Journey, let us take his words to heart and carry them into each of our days: that love “is the force that will overcome the world.”
