I am profoundly moved by the suffering and turmoil of your country and the citizens of the United States of America on this sad day. I wish to express my sympathy to Your Excellency, the Catholic Church and your noble nation.

In my prayers, I commend Your Excellency and your fellow citizen, especially the victims and their families to the Love of Heavenly Father.

Faithfully in Christ,


Archbishop Josip Bozani
