Known as the 'voice of the voiceless' in El Salvador, Archbishop Oscar Romero was assassinated as he was celebrating Mass.

Here's a wonderful animated mini-biography (4:15).

A PRAYER FOR TODAY (from CAFOD)

Lord Jesus,
We give thanks for the life of
Saint Oscar Romero
who spread your message
and struggled against injustice in El Salvador.

 

Like you,
he was a shepherd, a pastor, a brother;
Like you, he was taken from us;
Like you, he remains in our hearts.

 

Spirit of hope, work within us,
just as you worked
in Saint Oscar Romero,
so that we too may work for justice
and spread the Good News,
by living out the Gospel,
in solidarity with those living in poverty.

AMEN

 Jack Tunnecliffe/CAFOD

And a hymn based on the words of Oscar Romero:

... gross human rights violations and for the dignity of victims.

Earth Hour is a worldwide event where participants turn off all powered items at 8:30 p.m. in their own time zone.   It's an expression of willingness to be good stewards of the earth - our shared home!

It's an opportunity to enjoy a candle-lit dinner or bath or just sit and reflect with others in the darkness or with candles.

Here's a video from 2020 to help reflect on this event.

A PRAYER FOR EARTH HOUR

Creator God, we give thanks for the wonders of creation;

for the natural resources that provide us with power,

which in turn can allow development in so many areas.

For when we have not used this power responsibly - we ask forgiveness.

We pray for all working to harness the power of creation.

May they do this with compassion and sensitivity,

mindful that the earth is a home shared

with our fellow human beings and countless amazing creatures.

 

We pray this in your Holy Name. AMEN
