668 Acta Apostolicae Sedis - Commentarium Officiale<br />

Con profunda consternación y congoja he recibido la triste noticia de<br />

la desaparición de Su Santidad el Papa Pablo VI. Dígnese recibir Vuestra<br />

Eminencia los sentimientos de profundo pesar.<br />

Ex USA (AMERICAE SEPTENTRIONALIS FOEDERATIS CIVITATIBUS) :<br />

It is with deep sorrow that I offer my condolences and those of all<br />

Americans, whatever their faith, on the death of Pope Paul VI. His<br />

profound faith, and his lasting dedication to human justice and world<br />

peace, did much to strengthen the spirit of our age. I found in his<br />

example a source of great personal inspiration.<br />

The world will miss the guidance Pope Paul derived from his deep<br />

spirituality. He sought to speak across the barriers separating reli­<br />

gions, so that God's word could be understood more widely. His<br />

travels throughout the world, including an inspiring visit to the United<br />

States, made his message a personal one for all humankind. We saw<br />

in his travels not only the greatness of his leadership, but also the<br />

simplicity of the man.<br />

Our memorial to Pope Paul must also be simple : a renewed dedi­<br />

cation to his plea that ali people open their hearts to one another in<br />

gentleness and understanding. The American people and I mourn<br />

his passing.<br />

Jimmy Carter<br />

I am saddened and shocked by the tragic death of Pope Paul at a<br />

time when his defense and encouragement of human rights and peace<br />

have been of such great value. In his tireless sacrifice for those causes,<br />

Pope Paul earned the grateful respect of men and women of good<br />

will in every corner of the world. I join your mourning in deep and<br />

respectful sympathy.<br />

Cyrus Vanee<br />

Secretary o f State
