Message to President
Joseph Biden from Pope Francis
The Honorable Joseph R. Biden
President of the United States of America
The White House
Washington, DC
On the occasion of your inauguration as the
forty-sixth President of the United
States of America, I extend 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. Under your leadership, may the
American people continue to draw strength from the lofty political, ethical and
religious values that have inspired the nation since its founding. At a time
when the grave crises facing our human family call for farsighted and united
responses, I pray that your decisions will be guided by a concern for building
a society marked by authentic justice and freedom, together with unfailing
respect for the rights and dignity of every person, especially the poor, the
vulnerable and those who have no voice. I likewise ask God, the source of all
wisdom and truth, to guide your efforts to foster understanding, reconciliation
and peace within the United
States and among the nations of the world in
order to advance the universal common good. With these sentiments, I willingly
invoke upon you and your family and the beloved American people an abundance of
blessing.
FRANCISCUS
PP
