  • “Your Love and Your Grace. It Is All I Need.” Joan L. Roccasalvo, C.S.J. Week of November 16, 2017
    “Your love and your grace. It is all I need.” Joan L. Roccasalvo, C.S.J. Week of November 16, 2017 How many times had they prayed in solitude and in public, “Give me your love and your grace. It is all I need?” A thousand times? In the end, they had no time to utter lengthy prayers, perhaps not even this final verse of St. Ignatius’ self-offering. Leisurely, they had prayed it for years. Now they were suddenly called on to live it in death. In the stealth of night, in those early hours of November 16th, 1989, six Jesuits were prodded from a deep sleep and dragged out of their beds to the grounds of their University of Central America. That moment had come when the prayer of self-giving would ask of them a final Yes. They were not entirely caught by surprise. Their residence had been visited a few days before. It was a warning as though to say: ‘Teach, but stay out of our business.’ Of all people, a young student of the Jesuit high school was enlisted to execute in cold blood six Jesuits, their cook and her daughter: Ignacio Ellacuría, the University Rector, an internationally known philosopher and tireless in his efforts to promote peace through his writings, conferences and travels abroad; . They also split open his head and spread his brains on the grass to make it clear why he had been killed. They certainly understood the symbolism of the head, the seat of the intellect. Segundo Montes. Head of the University of Central America sociology department, director of the new human rights institute, superior of the Jesuit community.

Thirty years later, in late 2010, I traveled to El Salvador as part of a delegation to commemorate the anniver- sary of their deaths. Returning to the United States in early 2011, I attended a memorial for them in Washington, D.C., and expected to see continuity with the past: the promotion of the missionaries as a source of inspiration and expressions of anger at the U.S. role in El Salvador. The women continued to inspire, but the focus on the U.S. government was nearly absent. Instead, commemorative events in El Salvador evoked disappointment with the insti- tutional Catholic Church, and the Washington, D.C., remembrance stressed Maryknoll Sisters’ political influence. These differences underscored that remembering the U.S. churchwomen was not just about one memory, but dif- ferent kinds of memories for different communities.

  • An Open Letter to the Members of the El Salvador Legislative Assembly
    An Open Letter to the Members of the El Salvador Legislative Assembly: We are family members of four American churchwomen who were murdered by the El Salvadoran Armed Forces in December of 1980. Other members of this military, headed by some of the same officers of the High Command, orchestrated the El Mozote massacre a year later in December of 1981, where 998 people were killed, most of whom were children. In December 2018, Salvadoran Judge Jorge Alberto Guzmán Urquilla ruled that the events in El Mozote constituted war crimes and crimes against humanity, adding to the list of charges that have been brought against Former Defense Minister José Guillermo García and others members of the military. We know José Guillermo García. Five years ago, U.S. Board of Immigration Appeals Judge Michael C. Horn ordered General García to be deported from his home in the United States for his role in human rights violations in El Salvador. In his order, Judge Horn catalogued the crimes that took place during Guillermo Garcia's tenure as El Salvador's minister of defense (1979 - 1983) -- the rape and murder of the four Churchwomen, the assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero, and the slaughter of 998 men, women and children in the mountains of Morazán in December of 1981. In cataloging these atrocities, Judge Horn called them "a deliberate military policy." But deportation does not replace criminal proceedings. The awful consequences of El Salvador's state-sponsored terrorism -- sponsored by both the government of El Salvador and the United States -- can only be fully addressed and readdressed through the willingness of both states to let their judicial systems work unimpeded.
