"Older people are not 'leftovers' to be discarded; rather, they continue
to be precious nourishment for families, young people and communities,
Pope Francis said in the homily he wrote for the Mass marking the first
World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly.
"'Let us ask
ourselves, "Have I visited my grandparents, my elderly relatives, the
older people in my neighborhood? Have I listened to them? Have I spent
time with them?"' the pope said in his homily, which was read aloud at
the Mass by Archbishop Rino Fisichella."
A recent article in The Pilot reported on this homily from Pope Francis.
