Let Us Begin: New Book on the Life and Power of St. Francis
Saturday is the World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly — the fifth year of its celebration. July 26 is also the feast day each year of St. Joachim and Anne, the grandparents of Jesus.
While popes are not themselves grandfathers, the recent words of our Holy Fathers have been inspiring and challenging concerning the topic of grandparents. Perhaps it is the fact that they are close in age to grandparents, or simply because they are close to the heart of Jesus, who yearns for all to be known and loved. Reading their words can aid us in giving respect to our grandparents, living or deceased.
