A quick note this morning as we gather to head to the cathedral and Romero sites. There are two poignant thoughts I feel compelled to share.
The first is the embodiment of the word "presente"—this simple word holds deep importance to the Salvadoran people. It is a word that brings all those who have been lost to the injustices and violence of the country to our memory and continued lived experience. In other words I suppose we could say "you are never forgotten!"
The second is a phrase Jose shared during our morning orientation, "we are here to do justice!" What I so deeply felt was that tiny two letter word "do". Justice will not occur without the actions of others ... Dare I say ... Of us!
We're off better go before I'm left behind!
Con Paz,
Sarita
