Thanks to Sr. Janet, a colleague in ministry, who taught me something I did not know in her comment on facebook:
“Becky, this gets attributed to Oscar Romero, but in reality it was written by Ken Untener for a homily given by Cardinal Dearden during a liturgy for deceased priests in Detroit. At some point Romero must have quoted it or it must have been on a card with his picture/name on it and it has become linked with him.”
I am very thankful for Sr. Janet for many reasons, and this is one of them…she always teaches me something!
