Christ is saying to each one of us: if you want your life and your mission to be fruitful like mine, do as I have, be converted into grain that is buried. Let yourself be killed. Don't be afraid. The one who avoids suffering will end up alone. There is no one more alone than selfish people. But if, out of love for others, you give your life for others, like I am going to give mine, you will have an abundant harvest; you will experience the deepest satisfaction. Don't be afraid of death or of threats. The Lord is with you.
Oscar Romero, April 1, 1979 -Translated by Irene B. Hodgson
