Anniversary of Murder of Archbishop Romero: Witness for Justice

And then there were the Chileans, who had also known years of suffering and injustice in their own country. When we asked them if they were hopeful, we got the enthusiastic "Of course!!" response... "We don't have to see the end, we just have to be part of doing justice, jumping in the river of humanity of which we are all part. ' Sonia, our catechist and bible expert, smiled as she said, "This is how we talk about it. We're each like little ants, working on something bigger together, but each just carrying a little crumb. We can all do that." They were all very clear they don't look for or wait for the "leaders" for "leadership." "We are the Church."
