World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly Grandparents bestow upon their grandchildren the strength and wisdom that time and experience have given them. Grandchildren bless their grandparents with a youthful vitality and innocence that help them stay young at heart. Together they create a chain of love linking the past with the future. The chain may lengthen, but it will never break.
Grandparents are a family’s greatest treasure; the founders of a loving legacy, the greatest storytellers, the keepers of traditions that linger on in memory. Grandparents are the family’s strong foundation. Their very special love sets them apart. Through happiness and sorrow, through their special love and caring, Grandparents keep a family close at heart.”
CARE FOR THE EARTH: ‘…Authentic faith …gives strength to the human heart, transforms life, transfigures our goals and sheds light on our relationship to others and with creation as a whole…’Pope Francis…. Laudato Deum#61
