VATICAN CITY, JUN 8, 2004 (VIS) - The following telegram was sent by Pope John Paul II to Nancy Reagan, the widow of the 40th president of the United States, Ronald Reagan, who died June 5 at the age of 93 at his home in California:
"Having learned with sadness of the death of President Reagan, I offer you and your family my heartfelt condolences and the assurance of my prayers for his eternal rest. I recall with deep gratitude the late president's unwavering commitment to the service of the nation and to the cause of freedom as well as his abiding faith in the human and spiritual values which ensure a future of solidarity, justice and peace in our world. Together with your family and the American people I commend his noble soul to the merciful love of God our Heavenly Father and cordially invoke upon all who mourn his passing the divine blessings of consolation, strength and peace."

It has been said that the Holy Trinity that defeated Comminism was Reagan, Thatcher, and the Pope.
God Bless them.

God bless the pope. I know that with his health problems, he probably won't be far behind and he's going to be mourned worldwide, even among us non-Catholics for his role in the decline of communism.

That is lovely. I hadn't seen that one. I meant the one with them sitting in a room together.

I happened to have C-SPAN on tonight when Lech went up and knelt before the casket. What a poignant moment.
Long live JPII.
