Lent - Day 28

In the most sublime homily ever given, Christ closes the book and says, "These things have been fulfilled today."

That is what a homily is: saying that God's word is not about times past, but a living and spiritual word that is being fulfilled here. Hence our effort to apply God's eternal message to the people's concrete circumstances.

Archbishop Oscar Romero, January 27, 1980
