[World Day for Grandparents &
[World Day for Grandparents & the Elderly] Pope Francis' Catechesis on Old Age (Eng Sub)
📌Pope Francis' Catechesis on Old Age📌
There have never been so many of us in human history. The risk of being discarded is even more frequent. The elderly are often seen as ‘a burden’.
In the dramatic first phase of the pandemic it was they who paid the highest price. They were already the weakest and most neglected group. we did not notice them too much when they were alive, We did not even see them die.
Old age is one of the most urgent issues facing the human family at this time. The unity of the stages of life is at stake. That is, the real point of reference for understanding and appreciating human life in its entirety.
We all live in a present where children, young people, adults and the elderly coexist. But the proportion has changed. longevity has become a mass [phenomenon] and, in large parts of the world, childhood is distributed in small doses. An imbalance that has many consequences.
The dominant culture has as its sole model the young adult, that is, a self-made individual who always remains young. But is it true that youth contains the full meaning of life, while old age simply represents its emptying and loss? Only youth has the full meaning of life, and old age is the emptying of life, the loss of life?
The exaltation of youth as the only age worthy of embodying the human ideal, coupled with contempt for old age, seen as frailty, as decay or disability, has been the dominant image of 20th-century totalitarianism. Have we forgotten this?
In short, for an age that is now a decisive part of the community space and extends to a third of the entire life span, there are — at times — care plans, but not projects of existence.
Care plans, yes; but not plans to let them live to the full. And this is a void of thought, of imagination and of creativity.
Underneath this [way of thinking], what makes a vacuum is that the elderly are throwaway material. In this throwaway culture, the elderly are like throwaway material. Youth is beautiful, but eternal youth is a very dangerous hallucination.
Being old is just as important — and beautiful — it is equally important as being young. Let us remember this. The alliance between generations, which restores all ages of life to the human, is our lost gift and we have to get it back.
“Your old men shall dream dreams and your young men shall see visions” (Joel 3,1).
It can be interpreted as follows: when the elderly resist the Spirit, burying their dreams in the past, the young can no longer see the things that must be done to open up the future.
When, on the other hand, the old communicate their dreams, the young see clearly what they have to do. If grandparents fall back on their melancholies, young people will look even more to their smartphones.
The old have resources of life already lived that they can call upon at any moment. Old age is a gift for all stages of life. It is a gift of maturity, of wisdom. Let us not forget that in both family and social culture, the elderly are like the roots of a tree. They have all the history there, and the young are like the flowers and the fruit.
If the juice does not come, if this ‘drip’ — let’s say — does not come from the roots, they will never be able to flourish.
“That the blossoms on the tree / Draw life from what lies buried beneath” (Francisco Luis Bernárdez)
Everything beautiful that a society has is related to the roots of the elderly. For this reason, in these catecheses, I would like the figure of the elderly to be highlighted, so that it be well understood that the elderly are not throwaway material: they are a blessing for society.
“Getting old is a blessing, not a punishment.”
Pope Francis (From the discourse on the 2nd World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly)
