U.S.: The Lord has called President Ronald Reagan home

1911-2004

"When the Lord calls me home ... I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and eternal optimism for its future ... I know that for America there will always be a bright dawn ahead." (Nov. 5, 1994)

We extend condolences to the Reagan family. President Ronald Reagan was a great American president who served his country well. He gave America hope and restored the nation's confidence and pride in itself and in its military.

May the Lord God give comfort to President Reagan's family in their hour of grief; may He receive our thanks that President Reagan's long night has ended as he goes on to be with Christ Jesus in paradise. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Joy has come to a great man and a great president.

Requiescat in pacem.
