Prayer for Grandparents<\/strong> <\/mark>Lord Jesus, you were born of the Virgin Mary, the daughter of Saints Joachim and Anne. Look with love on grandparents the world over. Protect them! They are a source of enrichment for families, for the Church and for all of society. Support them! As they grow older, may they continue to be for their families strong pillars of Gospel faith, guardian of noble domestic ideals, living treasuries of sound religious traditions. Make them teachers of wisdom and courage, that they may pass on to future generations the fruits of their mature human and spiritual experience. Lord Jesus, help families and society to value the presence and roles of grandparents. May they never be ignored or excluded, but always encounter respect and love. Help them to live serenely and to feel welcomed in all the years of life which you give them. Mary, Mother of all the living, keep grandparents constantly in your care, accompany them on their earthly pilgrimage, and by your prayers, grant that all families may one day be reunited in our heavenly homeland, where you await all humanity for the great embrace of live without end. Amen <\/em><\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today Sun 23rd is a day of Prayer for Grandparents and the Elderly. <\/mark><\/strong> \u2014 Pope Francis has chosen \u201cHis mercy is from age to age,\u201d a passage from the Gospel of Luke, as the theme for the 2023 celebration of the World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly. Pope Francis will preside over a special Mass in St. Peter\u2019s Basilica to mark the grandparents\u2019 day and has invited parishes, dioceses, associations, and communities around the world to celebrate the day. The pope, who is 86 years old, has been an advocate for the dignity of the aging and has often emphasized the important role of grandparents in passing on the Catholic faith. He established<\/a> the World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly in 2021. Last year\u2019s theme came from Psalm 92:15: \u201cIn old age they will still bear fruit.\u201d  <\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
