It’s hard for me to accept the idea of a violent death, which in these circumstances is very possible…I place my entire life under the loving providence of God, and I accept death, no matter how difficult, with faith in Him. I do not even offer a prayer of intention, as I’d like, for peace in my country and for the flourishing of our Church, because the Heart of Christ will know how to take things to their desired destiny. It’s enough for me to be happy and confident, knowing for sure that my life and my death are in His hands, and that in spite of my sins, I have placed my trust in Him. In this I can’t be mistaken. Others will continue, with more wisdom and holiness, all of the works of the Church and the country. Archbishop Oscar RomeroPersonal diary from
