Episode 4 - St. Oscar Romero: The Church Before Grief and Violence

Liturgical Listenings with Genie Shaw

On October 14th a new saint was canonized, St. Oscar Romero. In both the traditional and new calendar his feast day is the day of his martyrdom, March 24th. He is also the first canonized saint of El Salvador. Our reading for this episode one of St. Oscar’s homilies entitled The Church Before Grief & Violence. In this homily given at the funeral of a murdered Salvadoran official, St. Oscar reminds us that violence should never be met with retaliation and more violence, but rather love in hopes of harmony. How will your family celebrate St. Oscar? We'd love to hear your plans for the day!
