On the first World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly, Pope Francis said today (July 25, 2021) that he worried about how an individualistic society treats its older members, and urged young people to give them love and attention, according to the National Catholic Register website.
"I worry when I see a society full of people in constant motion, too caught up in their own affairs to have time for a glance, a greeting, or a hug," the pope said in a homily today.
Pope Francis' homily was read during a Mass for around 2,500 elderly people and grandparents, together with their children and grandchildren, held in St. Peter's Basilica.
