Sacraments

I am with you always” : this is the promise the Lord made to his disciples before he ascended into heaven. They are the words that he repeats to you today, dear grandfathers and grandmothers, dear elderly friends. “I am with you always” are also the words that I, as Bishop of Rome and an elderly person like yourselves, would like to address to you on this first World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly. The whole Church is close to you – to us – and cares about you, loves you and does not want to leave you alone! Happy Grandparents Day and Elderly Friends

Friendship is one of the great gifts that life gives us. Being able to count on friends, during good times as well as bad, is a gift from God. We need to seek friends instead of enemies, understanding each other instead of fighting— The Bible says that whoever finds a friend has found a treasure
