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

The commitment

This is the commitment of being a Christian: following Christ in his incarnation. And if Christ is God in His majesty who becomes a humble man even to dying like a slave on the cross, and who lives with the poor, that's what our Christian faith should be like. A Christian who doesn't want to live this commitment of solidarity with the poor is not worthy of being called a Christian.

Oscar Romero, February 17, 1980. Translated by Irene B. Hodgson
