Pope Francis. A message to grandparents and the elderly

A handy, lightweight, and affordable booklet that shares with everyone the beautiful message Pope Francis wrote for the first World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly (July 25, 2021, and the fourth Sunday of July in the years to come). To provide a resource for reflection and prayer for older people, and not only them, the booklet includes the conditions for obtaining the plenary indulgence granted for the Day, three speeches the Holy Father delivered on other occasions but always addressed to older people and grandparents, and a collection of prayers: the Pope's prayer for the World Day, prayers by grandparents, for grandparents, for and by older people, and a short celebration to hold at home for Grandparents' Day. In addition, a selection of psalms, accompanied by a brief explanatory introduction, is intended to be the finest companion for praying with the very words of Sacred Scripture.
