ARTWORK NARRATIVE:
The arm of a martyr
holds a wounded child.
The embrace stands between
the world and darkness.

Prayer Windows
In those mysterious dungeons
where so many of our brothers and sisters have vanished,
how many must know terrible secrets,
how many have hands stained with blood,
marked by outrages — how many weeds in the harvest!
God waits for them.
Don't pull them up, says Christ — wait.
We wait.
I would like to say, as a brother,
to all those friends whose consciences are uneasy
because they have sinned against God and neighbor:
You cannot be happy that way;
the God of love is calling you.
He wants to forgive you,
he wants to save you.
July 23, 1978
The purpose of our life is God's glory.
However lowly a life is,
that is what makes it great.
September 3, 1978
—Excerpts from “The Violence of Love" by Oscar Romero
