In the hopes that the world can be freed from the "specter of loneliness and the demon of war," Pope Francis is calling on the elderly to lead a "revolution of tenderness," the Crux website reports today (May 10, 2022).
Old age, he said, is not a time to "give up and lower the sails," but a season of fruitfulness,with a new mission to accomplish, bringing particular sensibility the elderly have for the concerns and affections "that make us human."
Reminding younger generations of their humanity, Francis said, is what his own generation can contribute to the "revolution of tenderness, a spiritual and non-violent revolution in which I encourage you, dear grandparents and elderly persons, to take an active role."
