World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly

Sunday 24th July 2022 is the Second World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly.

Pope Francis has chosen the theme “In old age they will still bear fruit” (Ps 92) and calls us all to reflect on how grandparents and the elderly bear fruit in our world.

I have included below the prayer for the 2nd World Day for Grandparents and Elderly below should you wish to use it. 

PRAYER FOR THE SECOND WORLD DAY FOR GRANDPARENTS AND THE ELDERLY

I give thanks to you, Lord, for the blessing of a long life

For, to those who take refuge in You, grant always to bear fruit.

Forgive, O Lord, resignation and disillusionment,

But forsake me not when my strength declines.

Teach me to look with hope to the future you give me,

To the mission you entrust to me and to sing your praises without end.

Make me a tender craftsman of Your revolution,

To guard with love my grandchildren and all the little ones who seek shelter in You.

Protect, O Lord, Pope Francis and grant Thy Church

To deliver the world from loneliness.

Direct our steps in the way of peace.

Amen.

Yours in Christ,
