\n<\/strong>'And we, women and men of a certain age...not to say old, because some will be offended. Of a certain age...let us not forget that we have the chance to offer wisdom, to say to others: Look, this path of corruption leads nowhere.'<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>'This is a bad thing, when the elderly do not mature and grow old with the same corrupt habits of the youth.'<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>'I thank you for your gesture. Let us pray this time especially for peace in Ukraine. I bless you from my heart.'<\/em><\/p>\n
