✝️Today is the 45th anniversary of the assassination of St Oscar Romero, who was killed by a single shot fired while he was celebrating mass in a hospital chapel. Romero's assassination was ordered after he implored the army of El Salvador to stop killing people in a sermon the previous day: “In the name of God, and in the name of this suffering people whose cries rise to heaven more loudly each day, I beg you, I implore you, I order you, in the name of God, stop the repression!”

🙏We ask for the intercession of St Oscar Romero for all those impacted by warfare and killing today, whose suffering cries call out loudly for justice, peace and reconciliation around the world.
