Abstract

The article contextualizes the political and social situation experienced by the Archbishop of San Salvador, Mons. Oscar Romero, during the years 1977-1980. It follows the thread of coffee production; then it presents the Archbishop's accounts which allow a deeper understanding of his spiritual experience. These accounts reveal three qualities of his prophetic spirituality in the face of the events that occurred in his nation: embodying the people; a man of the Word of God; love and fidelity to God's cause. It concludes by briefly presenting the relevance of Mons. Romero's message for our times.
