Appreciating our Elders
Father Jonathan Morris Says Taking Care of Elderly is Like Taking Care of Jesus
Seeing the elderly only as a burden “is ugly. It’s a sin,” Pope Francis said at his weekly general audience.
“We must reawaken our collective sense of gratitude, appreciation and hospitality, helping the elderly know they are a living part of their communities” and sources of wisdom for the younger generations, the 78-year-old pope said March 4 at his weekly general audience.

“If we do not learn to treat the elderly well,” the pope said, “we won’t be treated well either” when the time comes.
“Ignoring, abandoning the elderly is a sin, Pope says”
