SEPT. 9: HAPPY GRANDPARENTS’ DAY!
Love for Our Grandparents and the Elderly.

Our grandparents and the elderly in general “are a wealth not to be ignored… Where there is no honour for elders, there is no future for the young (Pope Francis).”

IT IS A SPECIAL DAY TO THANK GOD AND TO PRAY FOR AND SALUTE ALL THE GRANDPARENTS AND THE ELDERLY IN GENERAL WHO HAVE SELFLESSLY TRANSMITTED THE GIFT OF LIFE AND OF FAITH TO THE SUCCEEDING GENERATIONS WITH THEIR LOVE, AFFECTION, WISDOM AND LIFE EXPERIENCE.

THANKS TO THEIR SELF-GIVING, THE GIFT OF FAITH HAD BEEN HANDED DOWN FROM ONE GENERATION TO ANOTHER. IN MANY PLACES ALL OVER THE WORLD, THEY HAVE BEEN PROVIDING A CONTINUOUS AND INDISPENSABLE SUPPORT, IN SPITE OF THEIR ADVANCED AGE AND INCREASING PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS, TO PARENTS WHO ARE ABSENT DUE TO THE DEMANDS OF WORK AND MODERN LIFESTYLE. WITHOUT THEM, MANY CHILDREN WOULD BE DEPRIVED OF THE NEEDED LOVE, AFFECTION, COMPANY, AND EDUCATION.

WE SALUTE ALL OUR GRANDPARENTS FOR THEIR LOVE, SACRIFICE AND INCONDITIONAL HELP….THANK YOU! OUR PRAYERS FOR YOU ON THIS SPECIAL DAY.
