We have never preached violence, except the violence of love, which left Christ nailed to a cross, the violence that we must each do to ourselves to overcome our selfishness and such cruel inequalities among us. The violence we preach is not the violence of the sword, the violence of hatred. It is the violence of love, of brotherhood,the violence that wills to beat weapons into sickles for work. ↗

— Oscar A. Romero

It is a poor sermon that gives no offense; that neither makes the hearer displeased with himself nor with the preacher. ↗
