Holy Father's Message for Archbishop Romero's Beatification


Vatican Radio's translation of the letter of Pope Francis for yesterday's beatification of Archbishop Oscar Romero is available here.  An excerpt follows:

"The voice of the newly Blessed continues to resonate today to remind us that the Church, a convocation of brothers surrounding their Lord, is the family of God, in which there should be no division. Faith in Jesus Christ, when understood well and its final consequences assumed, generates communities of that are builders of peace and solidarity. This is what the Church in El Salvador is called to today, in America and in the whole world: to be rich in mercy and to convert into the leaven of reconciliation for society."
