THIS Sunday 28th July
World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly,
Thank you for the older generation. For the strong roots of faith that have anchored my family and my community.
For the branches of love that have sheltered us. May our tree of faith continue to grow strong and bear fruit for generations.
The prayer of Grandparents and the Elderly is a great gift for the church. It is a great injection of wisdom for all society.
“To Grandparents, is entrusted the task to convey the experience of life, to share with simplicity their wisdom and the same faith which is the most precious legacy!”
The first gift of the Holy Spirit is Wisdom. But it is not simply human wisdom, which is the fruit of knowledge and experience. Wisdom is the grace of being able to see everything with the eyes of God. Pope Francis.
Catholic Grandparents Association Pilgrimage to Knock takes place this, Sunday 28th July. Archbishop Luis Mariano Montemayor, Papal Nuncio of Ireland will lead the pilgrimage. Anointing of the sick takes place at 2.30pm in the Basilica followed by Mass and a Rosary Procession.
All are welcome to attend.
