ARCHBISHOP OSCAR ROMERO, MARTYRED FOR BEING A PROPHET OF SOCIAL JUSTICE..........

30 Years ago today, while celebrating Mass in San Salvador, El Savador where he was the Archbishop, +Oscar Romero, was assassinated by far right political and military men, for preaching the Gospel of Social Justice. He is truly one of the modern martyrs of our Catholic-Christian Faith. At the Communal Penance Service at the Sacramento State University Newman Center tonight, Rev. Fr. George Wanser, S.J., preached an insightful homily about the ministry and killikng of Archbishop Romero. He himself has spent time in El Salvador and the surrounding region of Central America. Let us pray and work for the justice our Church and World so inherently needs, as we too proclaim Gospel values by the faithful witness of our lives..........In Jesus The Christ Our Justice And Peace, Fr.
