Books about Rutilio Grande SJ
A number of books in Spanish and English are now available that help us learn more about the life and legacy of Rutilio Grande. We are particularly grateful to two authors, Sr Ana María Pineda RSM and Fr Rodolfo Cardenal SJ, who have given permission to the Romero Trust to publish their books in full on this website.
We are also grateful to The Institute for Advanced Jesuit Studies at Boston College for giving us permission to make the English translation of Fr Cardenal's book available alongside the Spanish text.

In addition to these two books we can recommend a number of others that explore Rutilio Grande's life, ministry and legacy.
An excellent English language biography of Rutilio is a book by Rhina Guidos, entitled 'Rutilio Grande - A Table for All', published by Liturgical Press.
There is also the excellent book on Archbishop Romero and Rutilio by Ana María Pineda, entitled 'Romero and Grande - Companions on the Journey' published in the US by Lectio Publishing.
There is a useful analysis of Rutilio by Thomas Kelly, ‘When the Gospel Grows Feet’. It is complemented by Kelly’s more recent ‘Rutilio Grande SJ: Homilies and Writings’ which, as the title suggests, is a translation of various of Rutilio’s texts and sermons.
