“Old age is the fitting time for the moving and joyful witness of expectation. The elderly man and woman are waiting, waiting for an encounter. In old age the works of faith, which bring us and others closer to the Kingdom of God, are by now beyond the power of the energy, words, and impulses of youth and maturity. But precisely in this way they make the promise of the true destination of life even more transparent. And what is the true destination of life? A place at the table with God, in the world of God.”
Pope Francis

“It is very beautiful to think of life with the Lord as a relationship of friendship that grows day by day. Have you thought about this? It is the way! We think of God loving us, wanting us to be friends!
Friendship with God has the ability to change the heart; it is one of the great gifts of the Holy Spirit, mercy, which enables us to recognize the fatherhood of God. We have a tender Father, a loving Father, a Father who loves us, who has always loved us: when one experiences this, the heart melts, and doubts, fears, feeling of unworthiness fall away.
Nothing can oppose this love of encountering the Lord.”
Pope Francis
