Oscar Romero: Prophet Of Hope - by Roberto Morozzo Della Rocca

Saint Óscar Romero is an icon of Gospel courage and heroism. In this riveting biography, historian Roberto Morozzo della Rocca traces Romero's journey of personal holiness, love for the Church, and commitment to the poor and defenseless. Drawing from official archives, unpublished documents, and his close collaboration with the postulator for Romero's cause for canonization, Della Rocca narrates Romero's life, illuminates his relationship with Saint John Paul II, and highlights his pastoral outreach to those in need. The resulting portrait celebrates Romero as a true prophet of hope, a saint for our times who continues to remind us that "Nothing on this earth has absolute value; everything is relative compared with the one and only Absolute." Winner of an Association of Catholic Publishers (ACP) Excellence in Publishing Award.
