Romero: Prophetic Weakness, Liberation Power - Liberation (2 Corinthians 12:9-10)

Source: ChurchWiseAI72 wordsAI-crafted by ChurchWiseAI

Archbishop Romero's weakness—no army, no political power, just prophetic voice—became liberation power that outlasted his assassins. Liberation theology reads 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 from the margins: the poor's weakness is context for divine strength; powerlessness positions for liberation power. "My power is made perfect in weakness"—the weak reveal God's strength against oppressors. Romero's martyrdom multiplied his power; his weakness became resurrection strength. Prophetic weakness is kingdom power. Embrace weakness; resist in God's strength.
