What's on your bookshelf? Welcome to Spring Books 2021!
In the spring of 2015, I was blessed with the opportunity to travel to El Salvador for the beatification ceremony of St. Óscar Romero (he was canonized in 2018). The Mass was an intense and electric ceremony on its own—hundreds of thousands packed the capital city’s Plaza Salvador del Mundo—but equally powerful were the days before and after. Did you know that one can visit the saint’s apartment? Right across the street from where he was martyred by Salvadoran paramilitaries while saying Mass, it has been preserved as it was the day he was killed, including his bookshelves.
