Description

Most know St. Óscar Romero as the courageous archbishop of El Salvador who spoke out for the poor and oppressed, ultimately giving his life as a martyr for justice. Yet Romero was also a man of profound prayer and contemplation whose intimate relationship with Christ shaped every act of his advocacy and care for the people of El Salvador.

Mission to Love offers a thirty-day retreat drawn from Romero's homilies, with daily readings, brief prayers, and evening reflections designed to draw you into God's presence. Each day invites you to walk alongside Romero, encountering the Gospel demands that shaped his courage and compassion, and meeting Christ in all people-- especially the poor and marginalized.

Through this retreat, you will discover Romero's vision of authentic Christian life and the radical call to carry out a true mission of love in a world marked by suffering. This was the call that inspired so many and ultimately cost him his life. Today, it remains a prophetic message our Church and world urgently need.

Part of the Great Spiritual Teachers series, this book provides a month of daily readings from one of the Catholic Church's most beloved spiritual guides--perfect for anyone seeking to ground their spiritual life in prayer, reflection, and the enduring wisdom of the saints.
