What Pope Francis Says About the Gifts of Aging

We are blessed to have Pope Francis as a model of what aging can look like. Though diminished in mobility, he still relishes the adventure of what this part of life offers—and he finds it rich and rewarding. Far from being “over,” Pope Francis preaches that there are gifts that only advanced age can offer to younger generations. This booklet shares many of Pope Francis’s teachings on aging and demonstrates what this stage of life can offer as we continue to be vibrant members of the body of Christ.
