The Saint Romero Chaplet


JUBILEE YEAR for the CENTENNIAL of BLESSED ROMERO, 2016 — 2017



#BlessedRomero #Beatification

This past September 27, a television newscast from Los Angeles featured the Chaplet of Blessed Romero, which I initially published on this blog. Below is a translation of the broadcast, since the video posted on the station's website cannot be seen in certain parts of the world.

Announcer:                 There are 17 days left until the historic canonization of the first Salvadoran saint in Rome, Blessed Romero, and today a member of that country shares the version of the Rosary that he wrote inspired by his life and martyrdom. Norma Roque has the story that you will see only on 34.

Carlos Colorado:         (Praying.) Hail Mary, full of grace ...

Norma Roque:            Like every Thursday, Carlos Colorado, an immigrant from El Salvador, prays the Rosary, today with his daughter Juliana.

Juliana Colorado:        (Praying.) Holy Mary, Mother of God ...

Norma Roque:            They are already preparing their trip to Rome for the historic canonization of the first saint from their country, Blessed Romero, on October 14.

Juliana Colorado:        That’s a very good thing.

Norma Roque:            Why?

Juliana Colorado:        Because we are Catholics.

Norma Roque:            But what they pray is a Chaplet, a version of the Rosary written by Colorado in 2005.

Carlos Colorado:         People thought that he was another politician, somewhat who was going beyond the bounds of his field and I wanted to explain, ‘No, what he was doing was something that came from his spirituality’.

Norma Roque:            There are only a dozen or so chaplets in the world and the one by Colorado, published by the Archdiocese of San Salvador in 2016, is prayed every Sunday next to the Archbishop’s Crypt in the Cathedral.

Carlos Colorado:         (Explaining with Rosary in hand.) First Romero becomes a priest, then he becomes archbishop, then he looks at the poor, then he looks at the sick, and lastly, he gives his life at the altar.

Norma Roque:            A lawyer by profession, Colorado immigrated at ten years. As a child he wanted to be a priest and met in person the man who will soon be Saint Oscar Arnulfo Romero.

Norma Roque:            Did you confess all your sins to Archbishop Romero?

Carlos Colorado:         I think so. And he absolved them all!

Norma Roque:            He also treasures two 'positios', original documents, one showing that Archbishop Romero was killed for hatred of the faith, and another one about the miracle that will raise him to the altars.

Carlos Colorado:         To be truly liberated and have prosperity and freedom, that is what El Salvador needs ...

Norma Roque:            Colorado places his faith for his country in the upcoming canonization of Blessed Romero. Remember, on October 14 in Rome.

Over the years, I have posted several notes about the Romero Chaplet, which lives and breathes constantly, thanks to Cultura Romeriana’s efforts to keep it alive in the Crypt of the Metropolitan Cathedral of San Salvador. Here are the links of the notes I have published in the recent past on the Chaplet (all of them in Spanish).

La Coronilla de San Romero


AÑO JUBILAR por el CENTENARIO del BEATO ROMERO, 2016 — 2017:



#BeatoRomero #Beatificación

Este 27 de septiembre pasado, un noticiero de la televisión de Los Ángeles dio a conocer la Coronilla del Beato Romero, que publiqué inicialmente en este blog.  A continuación una transcripción de la transmisión, ya que el video colgado en el sitio web de la estación no se puede ver en ciertos países.

Anunciadora:               Faltan 17 días para la histórica canonización del primer santo salvadoreño en Roma, el Beato Romero, y hoy un integrante de ese país nos comparte la versión del Rosario que escribió inspirado en su vida y martirio.  Norma Roque tiene la historia que verá solo en el 34.

Carlos Colorado:         (Rezando.)  Dios te salve María, llena eres de gracia ...

Norma Roque:            Como todos los jueves, Carlos Colorado, inmigrante de El Salvador, reza el Rosario, hoy con su hija Juliana.

Juliana Colorado:        (Rezando.)  Santa María, Madre de Dios ...

Norma Roque:            Ya preparan su viaje a Roma para la histórica canonización del primer santo de su país, el Beato Romero, el 14 de octubre.

Juliana Colorado:        Eso es muy bueno.

Norma Roque:            ¿Por qué?

Juliana Colorado:        Porque somos católicos.

Norma Roque:            Pero lo que rezan es una Coronilla, una versión del Rosario escrita por él mismo en el 2005.

Carlos Colorado:         La gente pensaba que él era otro político, una persona que se estaba traspasando de su ámbito y yo quería explicar, ‘No, lo que él estaba haciendo era algo que venía desde su espiritualidad’.

Norma Roque:            Solo existe una decena de coronillas en el mundo y la de Colorado, publicada por el Arzobispado de San Salvador en el 2016, se reza cada domingo junto a la Cripta de Monseñor en Catedral.

Carlos Colorado:         (Explicando con Rosario en mano.) Primero Romero se hace sacerdote, después llega a ser arzobispo, después se fija en los pobres, se fija en los enfermos, y últimamente entrega su vida en el altar.

Norma Roque:            Abogado de profesión, Colorado inmigró de diez años.  De niño quiso ser sacerdote y conoció en persona al que será San Óscar Arnulfo Romero.

Norma Roque:            ¿Confesó todos sus pecados a monseñor Romero?

Carlos Colorado:         Creo que sí.  ¡Y me los perdonó!

Norma Roque:            También atesora dos ‘positios’, documentos originales, el que consta que Mons. Romero fue asesinado por odio a la fe, y el del milagro que lo eleva a los altares.

Carlos Colorado:         Para que sea verdaderamente liberado y tenga prosperidad y libertad, eso es lo que El Salvador necesita ...

Norma Roque:            Colorado tiene depositada esa fe para su país en la próxima canonización del Beato Romero.  Recuerden, el 14 de octubre en Roma.

A través de los años, he publicado varias notas sobre la Coronilla, que vive y respira constantemente, gracias a los esfuerzos de Cultura Romeriana de mantenerla viva en la Cripta de la Catedral Metropolitana de San Salvador.  He aquí los enlaces de las notas que he publicado en el reciente pasado sobre la Coronilla.

La Coroncina di San Romero


ANNO GIUBILARE per il CENTENARIO del BEATO ROMERO, 2016 — 2017



#BeatoRomero #Beatificazione

Lo scorso 27 settembre, un telegiornale televisivo di Los Angeles ha presentato la Coroncina del Beato Romero, che ho inizialmente pubblicato su questo blog. Di seguito una traduzione della trasmissione, dal momento che il video pubblicato sul sito web della stazione non può essere visto in alcune parti del mondo.

Presentatore:              Mancano ancora 17 giorni alla canonizzazione storica del primo santo salvadoregno a Roma, il Beato Romero, e oggi un membro di quel paese condivide la versione del Rosario che ha scritto ispirandosi alla sua vita e al suo martirio. Norma Roque ha la storia che vedrai solo sul canale 34.

Carlos Colorado:         (Pregando) Ave Maria, piena di grazia ...

Norma Roque:            Come ogni giovedì, Carlos Colorado, un immigrato dal Salvador, prega il Rosario, oggi con sua figlia Juliana.

Juliana Colorado:        (Pregando). Santa Maria, Madre di Dio ...

Norma Roque:            Stanno già preparando il loro viaggio a Roma per la canonizzazione storica del primo santo del loro paese, il Beato Romero, il 14 ottobre.

Juliana Colorado:        Ciò è molto buono.

Norma Roque:            Perché?

Juliana Colorado:        Perché siamo cattolici.

Norma Roque:            Ma quello che loro pregano è una Coroncina, una versione del Rosario scritta dal Colorado nel 2005.

Carlos Colorado:         La gente pensava che fosse un altro politico, qualcuno che andava oltre i limiti del suo campo e volevo spiegare, ‘No, quello che stava facendo era qualcosa che proveniva dalla sua spiritualità’.

Norma Roque:            Ci sono solo una dozzina di coroncine nel mondo e quella del Colorado, pubblicata dall’Arcidiocesi di San Salvador nel 2016, viene pregata ogni domenica accanto alla Cripta di Romero nella Cattedrale.

Carlos Colorado:         (Spiegando con il Rosario in mano.) Prima Romero diventa prete, poi diventa arcivescovo, poi guarda i poveri, poi guarda gli ammalati e infine dà la sua vita all’altare.

Norma Roque:            Un avvocato di professione, il Colorado è emigrato a dieci anni. Da bambino voleva essere un prete e ha incontrato di persona colui che diventerà il Santo Oscar Arnulfo Romero.

Norma Roque:            Hai confessato tutti i tuoi peccati a Monsignor Romero?

Carlos Colorado:         Penso che sia così. E li ha assolti tutti!

Norma Roque:            Fa anche tesoro di due ‘positio’, documenti originali, uno che mostra che Romero è stato ucciso per odio per la fede, e un altro per il miracolo che lo porterà agli altari.

Carlos Colorado:         Per essere veramente liberato e avere prosperità e libertà, questo è ciò di cui El Salvador ha bisogno ...

Norma Roque:            Colorado ripone la sua fiducia per il suo paese nella prossima canonizzazione del Beato Romero. Ricorda, il 14 ottobre a Roma.

Nel corso degli anni, ho pubblicato diverse note sulla Coroncina Romero, che vive e respira costantemente, grazie agli sforzi della Cultura Romeriana per mantenerla viva nella Cripta della Cattedrale Metropolitana di San Salvador. Ecco i link delle note che ho pubblicato nel recente passato sulla Coroncina (tutte in spagnolo).

Grazie a Cultura Romeriana per il suo costante supporto a questa preghiera.

Papal audience on calendar for Romero pilgrims


JUBILEE YEAR for the CENTENNIAL of BLESSED ROMERO, 2016 — 2017
This is the admission ticket for the Oct. 14 canonization ceremony.

#BlessedRomero #Beatification
[Updated: please consult more recent calendar.] The Salvadoran Church has published a list of various activities to be carried out in Rome in the days when Archbishop Oscar Romero will be canonized as the first Salvadoran saint (Sunday, October 14, 2018). Some of the activities will be open to the public, and the organizers will provide buses to take the pilgrims to the places where they will be held. Other events will require an invite for admission, due to limited availability.
Update: The most significant event, announced a day after the rest of the agenda, is a special audience that Pope Francis will grant to the delegation of Salvadorans who will travel to Rome for Romero’s canonization. It will take place at 11:30 a.m. on Monday, October 15 in the Paul VI Audience Hall next to St. Peter’s Square. This audience will be a much more intimate encounter with the Pontiff than the thronged canonization Mass and it is likely that Francis may have some memorable words, as he did in a similar encounter after the beatification in 2015.
Among the other standout details, we learn that the Mass of Thanksgiving for the new saint will be celebrated—as anticipated from the outset—in the church of the Sant Egidio movement, with which the postulator of the cause, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, is affiliated, and not the Jesuit church in Rome, il Gesù. That Mass will be celebrated on the Monday after the canonization, presumably by Abp. Paglia, and on the Saturday before the canonization there will be another Mass, sponsored by Caritas, of whom Romero is patron saint, celebrated by the Philippine Cardinal Luis Tagle.
Other religious activities include Holy Rosaries and vigils, while additional events include cultural activities: the documentary “Il Risarcimento,” the musical theater work “Romero the Musical,” folk dances, and other events. The placement of a Romero statue in the Eternal City caps a project that has been years in the making.

The Mass of Thanksgiving in Santa Maria in Trastevere promises to be a poignant occasion, since in that Church lie the mortal remains of a martyred pope, St. Callixtus I (pope between 217-222 AD). His liturgical feast is celebrated on October 14. Therefore, pilgrims can celebrate the Day of St. Callixtus with Romero, and the next day thank Saint Romero from the tomb of Callixtus.

Additional details are found in the event charts released by the Salvadoran Church (in Spanish) below.
