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.
