Twenty-eighth-Sunday-of-OT-A-October-15-2023“I have offended the Lord, but thank God, one day I heard His call pointing out my sin, and instead of becoming arrogant and closed off in my pride, instead of slandering the Church because she disturbed me , I accepted instead that message of God. On that day, I humbly drew near the Lord and asked for forgiveness. Thankfully, there was a word which reprimanded me; there was someone who told me frankly that that was not the way to act. This is the role of the Church: not to ignore the circumstances of life but to point out to people their sins so that they repent.”
St Oscar Romero (The Scandal of Redemption)
