"Let us honour them, neither depriving ourselves of their company nor depriving them of ours. May we never allow the elderly to be cast aside!"
Pope Francis instituted this Day in 2021 since, he believes, grandparents are often forgotten, yet they"are the link between generations, passing on the experience of life and faith to the young."Pope Francis chose as this year's theme “His mercy is from age to age” , which he recalled, takes us back to the joyful meeting between the young Mary and her elderly relative Elizabeth .
God's loving plan, the Pope expressed, spans past, present and future."It embraces and connects the generations." "Let us all look ahead!" the Pope said, insisting we must"allow ourselves to be shaped by God’s grace, which from generation to generation frees us from inertia and from dwelling on the past!"In the meeting between Mary and Elizabeth, the Pope said, God points us toward the future that He is opening up before us.
The World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly, the Holy Father said, is meant"to be a small but precious sign of hope for them and for the whole Church."
