These women were well aware of the danger associated with their work. They knew all too well that working with the poor as Catholic missionaries was considered subversive by the rightwing terrorists and their allies in the armed forces. But. filled by their love of people and of God. they continued to distribute food and provide other physical and spiritual comforts to refugees from the fighting. To their families. their friends. and their religious orders. we offer our deepest condolences and heartfelt prayers. We pledge this Government to bring to justice their murderers and to bring to an end the senseless violence that is taking the lives of the innocent in El Salvador.
