Defining the News
Intergenerational love has the power to transform society and impart wisdom, Pope Francis said in a recent event that gathered over 6,000 grandparents and grandchildren, where he spoke about the rights of the elderly and the society’s duty to them.
Such an attitude leads to loneliness and a throwaway culture in which the elderly are left alone to spend their last years away from their loved ones. The Holy Father said it is important for young people and the elderly to spend time together because it makes the world better, richer, and wiser. After the grandfather made his grandson sit at a table by himself, the boy began to tinker with a hammer and nails. His father then asked him what he was doing, and the boy replied: “I’m building a table for you, for when you grow old and have to eat alone!”
