words to live and work by . . .

Beautiful is the moment in which we understand that we are no more than an instrument of God; we live only as long as God wants us to live; we can do only as much as God makes us able to; we are only as intelligent as God would have us be.

- Archbishop Oscar Romero, from his last homily, March 23, 1980

Romero was the Archbiship in El Salvador that spoke loudly for the poor. He was murdered during mass in 1980 and is considered by many the straw that broke the camel's back and began the war in El Salvador in the 80's. So thie words carry the truth of someone that has lived them out to their fullest extent.
