description The article, through the example of St. Oscar Romero, the archbishop of San Salvador in 1977–1980, shows that the sanctity is always embedded in the particular historical, geographical and spiritual reality – first part. The Archbishop, taking care of salvation of souls and peace in the country during the growing political and economic conflict, was taking all necessary efforts: he was a mediator between the government and dejected people, he admonished the military forces for their inhumanity; provided shelter and food to the people in need – second part. Further, the article shows that these actions awoke the storm of protests of the opponents, who accused him of left-wing orientation and the promotion of liberation theology. In doubts, St. Oscar sought spiritual support in the teaching of the contemporary popes, the Second Vatican Council and synods – and he used to find this support there. The last part of the article present St. Oscar as faithful to his vocation of being the shepherd “lams and wolves” to the last, and the consequences of his loss to the country. As the responsible for the salvation of confided him people, he heroically defended the sanctity and dignity of their lives until his martyr’s death while he was celebrating the Holy Mass.
