QUOTES FROM TODAY’S NEW SAINTS

“Prophets of a Future Not Our Own,” the famous homily by Bishop Ken Untener of Saginaw, Michigan, was so much in the spirit of Archbishop Óscar Romero, that it has frequently been attributed to Romero himself. Here, however, are some authentic quotes from sermons during 1977-79 by (now) St Óscar:

Some want to keep a gospel so disembodied

that it doesn’t get involved at all in the world it must save.

Christ is now in history. Christ is in the womb of the people.

Christ is now bringing about the new heavens and the new earth.

We must not seek the child Jesus in the pretty figures

of our Christmas crèches. We must seek him

among the undernourished children who have gone to bed tonight

with nothing to eat, among the poor newsboys who will sleep

covered with newspapers in doorways.

In our preaching to rich and poor, it is not that we pander

to the sins of the poor and ignore the virtues of the rich.

Both have sins and both need conversion.

But the poor, in their condition of need, are disposed to conversion.

They are more conscious of their need of God.

All of us, if we really want to know the meaning of conversion

and of faith and confidence in another, must become poor,

or at least make the cause of the poor our own inner motivation.

That is when one begins to experience faith and conversion:

when one has the heart of the poor, when one knows

that financial capital, political influence, and power are worthless,

and that without God we are nothing.

To feel that need of God is faith and conversion.

Pope St Paul VI’s encyclical Populorum Progressio quotes St Ambrose: “You are not gifting what is yours to the poor person; you are giving him back what is his...The earth belongs to everyone, not to the rich.”
