WE celebrate WORLD GRANDPARENTS AND ELDERLY DAY!

2021

Dear Friends,

Today we celebrate World Grandparents and Elderly Day!

Through a special video, Pope Francis entered into communion with grandparents and elderly people from different countries, to pray together the official prayer of the First World Day of Grandparents and Elderly, celebrated today, 25 July 2021. This is the big one proposal of the Department for the Laity, the Family and Life with the project: the whole world in prayer with the Pope.

PRAYER FOR THE 1st WORLD DAY OF GRANDPARENTS AND ELDERLY

I thank You, Lord, for the comfort of Your presence: even in solitude you are my hope and my confidence; from my youth you are my rock and strength! I appreciate you giving me a family and you blessed me with a long life. Thank you for the moments of joy and difficulty, for the dreams fulfilled and for the ones to come. Thank you for this moment of renewed fertility to which you call me. Increase, O Lord, my faith, make me an instrument of your peace; teach me to welcome those who suffer more than me, never stop dreaming and to tell Your wonders to the new generations. Protect and guide Pope Francis and the Church, so that the light of the Gospel reaches the ends of the earth. Send Your Spirit, O Lord, to renew the world, to calm the storm of the pandemic, that the poor may be comforted and that all wars may end. Sustain me in weakness, and grant me to fully live every moment you give me, in the certainty that you are with me every day until the end of the world. Amen.

Blessing

Lord our God, which thou hast bestowed upon these thy servants, among the vicissitudes of his life, the grace of always waiting in You and to taste and see how good you are, we bless you for the abundant gifts that from You they have received over so many years and for them we ask for your continued protection, so that they may live in the joy of the ever-renewed youth of spirit, enjoy bodily vigor and seek, with your way of proceeding, give everyone a beautiful testimony. By Our Lord. Amen.

We wish a HAPPY DAY to all GRANDPARENTS and ELDERLY in the WORLD!

A huge HUUUUG! Fatima C. Brizio
