Pope Francis despite his reservations about
Donald Trump has congratulated the new President on his inauguration in a
letter. The Pope extended the new President good wishes and hoped that his
decisions would be guided by the values that have helped shape the country.
Read the letter after the cut...
Upon
your inauguration as the forty-fifth President of the United States of America,
I
offer you my cordial good wishes and the assurance of my prayers that Almighty
God
will grant you wisdom and strength in the exercise of your high office. At a
time when our human family is beset by grave humanitarian crises demanding
farsighted and united political responses, I pray that your decisions will be
guided by the rich spiritual and ethical values that have shaped the history of
the American people and your nation's commitment to the advancement of human
dignity and freedom worldwide. Under your leadership, may America's stature
continue to be measured above all by its concern for the poor, the outcast and
those in need who, like Lazarus, stand before our door. With these sentiments,
I ask the Lord to grant you and your family, and all the beloved American
people, his blessings of peace, concord and every material and spiritual
prosperity.
