Lord, don’t give me riches, don’t give me a long
or a short life, don’t give me powers on earth that make
one drunk with power, don’t give me the madness of
idolatry of the false idols of this world. Cleanse me, Lord.
Cleanse my intentions and give me the true wisdom of
discernment, so that I may be able to distinguish between
good and evil . . .
– Archbishop Oscar Romero
