For Oscar Romero at his feast day

A life of integrity

And witness

Cut short by power,

Deaf and blind

To the inconvenient truth.

Your life

Freely given for faith

And love

Especially of the little ones

As you celebrated

God-with-us

With your very person.

Your deeds and words

Reverberate across the years

Touch my heart

And inspire me

To live

As a disciple
