You have pierced our hearts with the arrow of Your love.

God is near

No Christian should feel alone in his or her path, no family has to feel abandoned, no people should be pessimistic even amid crises that seem insoluble, like those of our country. God is among us. Let us have faith in this central truth of the sacred revelation. God is present; he is not asleep, rather he is active, he observes, he helps and, at the proper time he will act appropriately. Because of this the presence of joy awakens joy in our hearts. Rejoice in the Lord!Again I say to you: Rejoice because God is near!

Oscar Romero, December 16, 1979
