Senior adults

[God] calls us to follow Him in every age of life, and old age has a grace and a mission too, a true vocation from the Lord. Old age is a vocation. It is not yet time to "pull in the oars." This period of life is different from those before, there is no doubt; we even have to somewhat "invent it ourselves," because our societies are not ready, spiritually and morally, to appreciate the true value of this stage of life.

—Pope Francis, General Audience, 3/11/15

Help your people embrace the second half of their lives and discern how God is calling them. Don't take your elders for granted!
