“Dear Grandfathers and Grandmothers: As my predecessor, Pope Benedict, himself a saintly elderly person who continues to pray and work for the Church, once said: “the prayer of the elderly can protect the world, helping it perhaps more effectively than the frenetic activity of many others”. There is something beautiful here. Your prayer is a very precious resource: a deep breath that the Church and the world urgently need . I am with you always! ”@Pontifex @LaityFamilyLife
