La Violencia Del Amor (Spanish Edition) [Perfect Paperback]

Oscar A. Romero (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 20, 2001

From the stirring foreword by Henri Nouwen to the last page of Romero's text, this powerful volume of eloquent, simple meditations never wastes a word. Yet the real depth of Romero's message lies not in his words themselves, poetic as they are. It lies in the life they give witness to: the hard life of a man who was martyred for his faith.

About the Author

During his three years as archbishop of San Salvador, Oscar Romero became known as a fearless defender of the poor and suffering. His work on behalf of the oppressed earned him the admiration and love of the peasants he served, a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize, honorary degrees from abroad - and finally, an assassin's bullet on account of his outspokenness.

Este libro del Salvadoreno contiene secciones pequenas de sus homilias y cartas que escribio. Estas escrituras nos expone a las verdaderas ensenanzas de la iglesia y como debemos vivir verdaderamente como crisitanos. El nos enseno que es la verdadera liberacion. Lo que el descubrio y nosotros tenemos que descubrir tambien es que tenemos que tener cuidado de no estar "suavizando demasiado el mensaje de la cruz, [por] que es duro"(129). En este libro, Romero como profeta nos deja saber que Dios nos llama, y es nuestra vocacion responder. En este libro encontraran como debemos responder.

In this book you will be exposed to the homilies written by Romero. In it one will see his hopes and determination of living a true Christian life. This book is wonderful to have for it contains many short sections from his homilies and letters that he wrote. They expose us to the true teachings of the Catholic Church and how we are to truly live as Christians. He taught what true liberation is. Romero, like a prophet, lets us know that God calls us and it is our duty to respond. In this book, you will find a way of how we need to respond.
