(ANSA) – VATICAN CITY, AUGUST 17 – “Death is certainly a difficult passage in life. For all of us it is a difficult passage: we all have to go there but it is not easy. But it is also the passage that closes the time of uncertainty and throw away the clock. Because the beauty of life, which has no expiry date, begins right then. It begins with the wisdom of that man and that woman, the elderly, who are capable of giving the witness to young people “. The Pope said this in the general audience while continuing the catechesis on old age. “This humanity, which with all its progress seems to us an adolescent born yesterday, will it be able to regain the grace of an old age that holds the horizon of our destination steady?” Asked Pope Francis.
“The testimony of the elderly – added the Pontiff – unites the ages of life and the same dimensions of time: past, present and future. They are not only the memory but the present and also the promise. It is painful, and harmful, to see that the ages of life are conceived as separate worlds, competing with each other, trying to live each at the expense of the other. This is not right “.
“The alliance of old people and children – he concluded – will save the human family. Where children and young people talk to the old there is the future”. (HANDLE).
