ARCHBISHOP
OF CANTERBURY
TO
POPE FRANCIS
October 2018
Your Holiness,
On the occasion of the canonization of
Blessed Oscar Romero I send you greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Blessed Oscar Romero is a true example
to all Christians, and particularly to our fellow bishops. As a champion of peace and justice he stood
up against oppression and was consistently on the side of the poor, the
underprivileged and the marginalised. In
this he emphasised and demonstrated the love of Christ himself.
Your Holiness, Blessed Oscar is held in
great esteem in the Church of England.
He is commemorated in our liturgical calendar and his statue appears as
one of the martyrs of the twentieth century on the West Front of Westminster
Abbey. May his example of courage and
commitment be a model for us all.
In the Peace of Christ,
Archbishop of Canterbury
