Despite the ongoing slaughter of innocent persons and the ruthless treatment of any dissident voice, he continued to speak out courageously in his weekly homilies to the nation and the world.\r \r These homilies reveal Romero above all as a pastor who trusted his people. And the people, intuitively sensing this great trust, responded in kind. Romero often acknowledged that his homilies were collaborative creations, involving not just the Spirit's inspiration and his own reflections, but the thoughts and the feelings of the people as well. He never spoke down to the people in the condescending way of many church leaders and countless politicians.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50096964927761,"sku":"CIN1934996653G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1934996653.jpg?v=1751315248"},{"product_id":"scandal-of-redemption-book-oscar-romero-9780874861419","title":"The Scandal of Redemption","description":"To find out why Pope Francis is making Oscar Romero a saint, read the words that cost him his life.  ”A church that does not provoke crisis, a gospel that does not disturb, a word of God that does not touch the concrete sin of the society in which it is being proclaimed – what kind of gospel is that?”  Three short years transformed El Salvador’s Archbishop Oscar Romero from a defender of the status quo into one of the most outspoken voices of the oppressed. An assassin’s bullet ended his life, but his message lives on. In March 2018 Pope Francis announced that the Catholic Church would canonize Oscar Romero, acknowledging that he is indeed a saint who was martyred for proclaiming the gospel, and that the political and social implications of that message, which so scandalized the powerful, flowed directly from Romero’s faithfulness to the teachings of Jesus.  These selections from Romero’s diaries and radio broadcasts invite each of us to align our own lives with the way of Jesus that lifts up the poor, welcomes the broken, wins over enemies, and transforms the history of entire nations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50134070165777,"sku":"CIN0874861411VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50977301397777,"sku":"GOR012331159","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50984738881809,"sku":"NIN9780874861419","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52105717088529,"sku":"CIN0874861411G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52109156843793,"sku":"GOR009251651","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52345200476433,"sku":"NLS9780874861419","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53139658244369,"sku":"NGR9780874861419","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53482372301073,"sku":"CIN0874861411A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0874861411.jpg?v=1750704149"},{"product_id":"voice-of-the-voiceless-book-oscar-arnulfo-romero-9780883445259","title":"Voice of the Voiceless","description":"In the three short years of Oscar Romero's episcopal ministry he emerged as a courageous prophet, a voice for those who had no voice, and truly a saint for our time.

Intrépido defensor de los pobres y desamparados, alcanzó renombre mundial durante sus tres años como arzobispo de San Salvador. Las universidades de Georgetown y Lovaina le confirieron títulos honoris causa, y miembros del parlamento de Gran Bretaña lo nombraron candidato para el Premio Nobel por la Paz.

In \u003ci\u003eThrough the Year with Oscar Romero\u003c\/i\u003e, you'll encounter 365 passages from the archbishop's powerful homilies, curated to fit into your spiritual practice every day of the year. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e During his time serving the people of El Salvador's rural regions, Romero witnessed firsthand the suffering of the country's poor and dispossessed. Later, his outspoken disavowal of violence and repression was recorded in courageous homilies broadcast by radio throughout the country. Romero's homilies were so popular that in rural communities, the poorest of the poor would conserve their batteries all week in order to be able to listen to the archbishop's Sunday Mass. Archbishop Romero was shot to death on March 24, 1980, while performing Mass. Although his killer was never found, many blame his assassination on right-wing death squads. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This rerelease of \u003ci\u003eThrough the Year with Oscar Romero\u003c\/i\u003e features a new introduction celebrating Archbishop Romero's 2015 beatification, which named him a martyr and placed him one step closer to becoming a saint. Let Archbishop Romero accompany you throughout the year. You'll be inspired by the way he truly lived Jesus's teachings--and what's more, you'll be spurred on to action yourself. As Romero himself put it: A church that does not provoke any crisis, preach a gospel that does not unsettle, proclaim a word of God that does not get under anyone's skin or a word of God that does not touch the real sin of the society in which it is being proclaimed: what kind of gospel is that?","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53615765848337,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53615766438161,"sku":"CIN0867166959VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780867166958.jpg?v=1780416264"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-oscar-romero.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
