“In these pages, you will encounter not just the words of a saint but the beating heart of the Gospel itself. Archbishop Óscar Romero shows us what it means to live our faith with courage in a world that desperately needs God’s love. His call to conversion, his defense of the poor, and his witness of radical love speaks as powerfully today as they did in El Salvador forty five years ago. This book will challenge you, inspire you, and draw you deeper into the mystery of Christ who walks among us still—Cristo que camina con nosotros, especially among los más pobres, the most vulnerable of our brothers and sisters.”
Fr. Agustino Torres, CFR
Founder of Corazón Puro

“Todd Walatka’s beautifully crafted book brings Archbishop Romero’s words to life and offers us a rich source for daily reflection and application. Romero’s words, the guiding thought for each day, and the evening review strengthen our desire to respond more deeply to God present in each other and in the world. Mission to Love is truly a gift for all of us seeking to walk in God’s company.”

“St. Óscar Romero has long been one of my heroes, and Mission to Love beautifully captures why. In these pages, Romero’s voice is as clear and compelling as ever—rooted in prayer, fierce in love, and unshakable in hope. Todd Walatka’s skillful selections take us from the quiet depths of Romero’s contemplation to the bold fire of his preaching, showing how the infinite worth of every person is not just a belief but a call to action. Read this book slowly, let Romero’s words sink in, and you’ll find yourself drawn into the same mission of love that shaped his life—and can transform ours.”
