The Pope warns of the danger of growing old without maturing
During the audience, the Pope explained that the elderly have a key function in the family and in society: to give the alert.
FRANCISCO
And we, women and men of a certain age… not to say old, because some are offended. Of a certain age… let’s not forget that we have the opportunity to offer wisdom, to say to others: look, this path of corruption leads nowhere.
At the same time, he said that it is sad to see people who do not improve, because they have allowed their bad habits to crystallize in their behavior.
FRANCISCO
There is an ugly thing, when the elderly do not mature and grow old with the same corrupt customs of youth.
Greetings to the pilgrims were not lacking. Among them, a group of Poles who will pray over the weekend at the Czestochowa shrine in Jasna Góra for the Pope’s intentions.
FRANCISCO
I thank you for your gesture. Let us pray this time above all for peace in Ukraine. I bless you from my heart.
A message that was welcomed with applause among those present. Several of them, with Ukrainian flags.
