• We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that. This enables us to do something, and to do it very well. It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way, an opportunity for the Lord's grace to enter and do the rest.

  Oscar Romero

• A church that doesn't provoke any crises, a gospel that doesn't unsettle, a word of God that doesn't get under anyone’s skin, a word of God that doesn't touch the real sin of the society in which it is being proclaimed — ​what gospel is that?

• No me cansaré de declarar que si realmente queremos un fin efectivo de la violencia debemos eliminar la violencia que está en la raíz de toda violencia: la violencia estructural, la injusticia social, la exclusión de los ciudadanos de la gestión del país, la represión. Todo esto es lo que constituye la causa primigenia, de la que se desprende naturalmente el resto.

• Hermanos, venís de nuestro propio pueblo. Estáis matando a vuestros propios hermanos. Cualquier orden humana de matar debe estar subordinada a la ley de Dios, que dice: 'No matarás'. Ningún soldado está obligado a obedecer una orden contraria a la ley de Dios. Nadie tiene que obedecer una ley inmoral. Ya es hora de que obedezcan a sus conciencias y no a órdenes pecaminosas. La Iglesia no puede permanecer en silencio ante semejante abominación. ...En nombre de Dios, en nombre de este pueblo sufriente cuyo grito se eleva al cielo cada día con más fuerza, os imploro, os ruego, os ordeno: detened la represión.

• Let us not tire of preaching love; it is the force that will overcome the world. Let us not tire of preaching love. Though we see that waves of violence succeed in drowning the fire of Christian love, love must win out; it is the only thing that can.

• We must not seek the child Jesus in the pretty figures of our Christmas cribs. We must seek him among the undernourished children who have gone to bed at night with nothing to eat, among the poor newsboys who will sleep covered with newspapers in doorways.

• Beautiful is the moment in which we understand that we are no more than an instrument of God; we live only as long as God wants us to live; we can only do as much as God makes us able to do; we are only as intelligent as God would have us be.

  Oscar Romero

  Beautiful, Intelligent, Long

• When we speak for the poor, please note that we do not take sides with one social class. What we do is invite all social classes, rich and poor, without distinction, saying to everyone let us take seriously the cause of the poor as though it were our own.

• Puedes decirle a la gente que si consiguen matarme, yo perdono y bendigo a quienes lo hacen. Con suerte, se darán cuenta de que están perdiendo el tiempo. Un obispo morirá, pero la Iglesia de Dios, que es el pueblo, nunca perecerá.

• "La paz no es producto del terror ni del miedo. La paz no es el silencio de los cementerios. La paz no es el resultado silencioso de la represión violenta. La paz es la contribución generosa y tranquila de todos al bien de todos. La paz es dinamismo. La paz es generosidad. Es derecho y es deber".

  Oscar Romero

• A church that suffers no persecution but enjoys the privileges and support of the things of the earth - beware! - is not the true church of Jesus Christ. A preaching that does not point out sin is not the preaching of the gospel. A preaching that makes sinners feel good, so that they are secured in their sinful state, betrays the gospel's call.

  Oscar Romero

  Jesus, Support, Feel Good
