Monsenor Romero - Memories in Mosaic

Author: Maria Lopez Vigil

A collectively painted portrait of El Salvador’s beloved archbishop, Oscar Romero (1917-1980) who took his place in history as a voice for the poor in the turbulent times leading up to el Salvador’s civil war, and who ultimately offered the sacrifice of his life.

Stories and remembrances gathered from peasants, friends, theologians and pastoral associates compose the colorful pieces of this multi-faceted biography. Here is a portrait of a human being with doubts and frailties who found the courage to listen to others, examine his beliefs, and step forward into a role in history that only he could play.
