\n<\/strong>At its core, this is at the center of old age. Old age must bear witness of their blessing to children. To share a testimony of faith to a child is to plant this life, also to give testimony of humanity and of faith is the vocation of the elderly. <\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Where children, where young people, speak with the elderly, there is a future. If there is no dialogue between the old and the young, the future is not clearly visible. The alliance between the old and the youth will save the human family.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>In the Audience, we talked about dialogue between the old and young. This one has been brave, and remains calm!<\/em><\/p>\n
