Pope Francis on Grandparents

Pope Francis spoke strongly and kindly of grandparents today for international grandparents day. The sad plight of so many old parents is that their children have marginalized them by putting them in homes instead of carrying for them.

However, there is another side to this sadness and that is the generation who aborted or contracepted their children and now find themselves alone. The decisions many women made when young will haunt them in old age. I feel for these women, but the consequences of sin is death and there is a death in being alone.

Grandparents are to be praised for being involved in their children's lives and the lives of their grandchildren.

Grandparents are to be praised for having children and nurturing them. Pray for those parents who destroyed their children and now find themselves alone. God can heal any broken heart through repentance and prayer.

God bless all parents and grandparents. Let us honor them today and always.
