Monsignor Roman was a holy man, totally given to virtue, as we can observe reading the events in his life, witnessed by the thousands of people who knew and revered him. It is for this reason that this biography is titled Monsignor Agustin Roman: Spiritual Guide of the Cubans, but his work is so broad and transcendental that it was truly also a spiritual guide for Latin American, Haitian and North American Catholics.
Mons. Thomas G. Wenski,
Archbishop of Miami
