Blessed Among Us: St. Oscar Romero

Based on the book "Blessed Among Us: Day by Day with Saintly Witnesses" by Robert Ellsberg, this is a monthly video series of prayerful meditations on lives well-lived. This is the story of St. Oscar Romero, Bishop and Martyr (1917-1980) who was gunned down during Mass in a hospital chapel on March 24, 1980, a day after telling an army made up largely of peasants that they were killing their own people. “No soldier is obliged to obey an order that is contrary to the will of God,” he said. Romero is the first Salvadoran saint.

Blessed Among Us is produced by The Sheen Center for Thought & Culture http://www.sheencenter.org and Give Us This Day, a monthly publication of Liturgical Press http://www.gutd.net
