WE,
Recognizing the wishes of our brother
José Luis Escobar Alas
Archbishop of San Salvador in America
And of all his other brothers in the
episcopate,
In order to fill the hopes of many
faithful Christians,
Having consulted the matter with the
Congregation for Saints
By virtue of our apostolic authority we authorize
that
The Venerable Servant of God
Oscar
Arnulfo Romero Galdamez, Bishop and Martyr,
Shepherd after the heart of Christ,
Evangelizer and father of the poor,
Heroic witness of the Kingdom of God,
Kingdom of justice, brotherhood and
peace,
henceforth shall be called Blessed
and his feast celebrated
On March 24,
On which he was born to heaven,
In such place according to the mode
established by the law.
In the Name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
Given in Rome, at Saint Peter's, on May
14,
Feast of St. Matthias, Apostle, of the
year two thousand fifteen
The third of my Pontificate.
Franciscus
