a great guy ... mark knowles, sent me this email. Thought i should probably pass it along to you folks
Just to remind everyone that 25 years ago, on Monday, March 24, 1980, Oscar Romero, the Archbishop of San Salvador, was assassinated. His life and faith truly are among the great ones from recent times, and it wouldn't hurt to spend a moment this day (the 24th--when I'm assuming most of you will get this) and this Holy Week reflecting upon his life. As introductions I highly recommend the movie "Romero," and the book "Oscar Romero: Memories in Mosaic" by María López Vigil, for those of you who haven't already been acquainted with them.
Anyways I trust this Holy Week is good for you.
The Christian wears the sureness of Christ
and is the seed of salvation.
If there is hope of a new world,
of a new nation,
of a more just order,
of a reflection of God’s kingdom in our society,
brothers and sisters,
surely you Christians are the ones
who will bring about this wonder of a new world
