“I have frequently been threatened with death. I must say that, as a Christian, I do not believe in death but in the resurrection. If they kill me, I shall rise again in the Salvadoran people.”—Archbishop Oscar Romero
Here, today, we are reminded of the martyr, Oscar Romero. Much has happened in 2012 already: from the War in Afghanistan to the Trayvon Martin tragedy. We all are frequently threatened by death, and perhaps Oscar Romero is a bright light in the midst of tragic darkness: let us all rise together in arms of justice.
