“I can, with one I squinted, take it all as a blessing”
So much about the night was moving, in particular, seeing campesinos arriving for the Mass from rural areas hours away in packed pickups with no covering on a very rainy night.

On that note, was good to see @RepMcGovern in attendance for the Mass and procession. As a congressional staffer in the 90’s, McGovern devoted years investigating the UCA killings & has been a fierce advocate for human rights in Latin Americs.

The Jesuits were just 6 of scores of clergy & religious executed during the civil war by a US-funded & trained military dictatorship. As a current UCA student told our group, “They killed these clergy because they realized they could get away with it. The US didn’t stop them.”
