GOD,
Please give  Humanity wisdom
To eliminate the Poverty in the World.
So that the rich become richer.
So that no Poverty exists.
So that no  Parent bury his Child.
So that our wonderful Planet is safe.
So that we to live with Joy, in Peace and surrounded by Love.
So that we will glorify You through our short lives, finished even before
being conceived.
So that to hear New prayers coming from every human’s heart,
Which is the same for every Human in this World, independently rich or
poor, white or colored, Abraham or Buddha’s children.
Because I believe only in Goodness..
(Amarilio's Prayer)

The structure of the cathedral was subjected to 3-D structural analysis in order to understand resistance under harsh seismic conditions. The entire towers are made of solid clay masonry, in order they were found to appear a frail point in the structure.
The cathedral was damaged by an earthquake in 1986. The Salvadorian Society, private companies and individuals formed "Fundacion Catedral" to raise funds for the renovation of the cathedral.
