The Pope says the elderly are often victims of the throwaway culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly aims to promote the commitment of the church and society to create bonds between young and old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the celebration of this day in 2023, the Pope stressed the need to foster these intergenerational bonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>POPE FRANCIS<br><\/strong><em>I think of grandparents: how beautiful are these leafy trees, under which children and grandchildren build their \u201cnests,\u201d learn the atmosphere of home and experience the tenderness of an embrace. It is a matter of growing together: the leafy tree and the little ones who need the nest, the grandparents with their children and grandchildren, the elderly with the youngest. Brothers and sisters, we need a new alliance between the young and old.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The day was a 2021 initiative of Pope Francis. During his Sunday Angelus, the Pope said that \u201cthat old age is a gift\u201d and that grandparents are the link between generations, to transmit the experience of life and faith to young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PA<br>TR: AT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The theme of the IV World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly is \u201cDo not cast me off in my old age.\u201d It will be celebrated on July 28, 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":758,"featured_media":65415,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26,27,24,25],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/YfLu3ANb_N0","video_descarga":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/blemajornadamajoreseng.mp4","international_url":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/blemajornadamajoresint.mp4","type":"bn","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65414"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/758"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65414"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65414\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":65418,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65414\/revisions\/65418"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
