About the Author
During his three years as archbishop of San Salvador, Oscar Romero became known as a fearless defender of the poor and suffering. His work on behalf of the oppressed earned him the admiration and love of the peasants he served, a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize, honorary degrees from abroad - and finally, an assassin's bullet on account of his outspokenness.

The violence we preach is not the violence of the sword the violence of hatred It is the violence of love, of brotherhood, the violence that wills to beat weapons into sickles for work.
Oscar Romero, Novenber 27, 1977
