The life and death of this holy man provide a stirring example for Christian Statesmen today. Garcia Moreno pulled his poverty-stricken nation from the brink of destruction and turned it into a flourishing Christian society. Outdone by his faith, courage and brilliant statesmanship, the enemies of Christian Society decreed his death and ordered his assassination. With his final breath, he forgave his enemies and found the strength to exclaim, "God does not die!" Garcia Moreno established all the social institutions of his country on the solid foundation of the Catholic Faith; after his death the National Congress of Ecuador awarded him the title of Regenerator of the Nation and Martyr of Catholic Civilization.
