Abstract

Seniors bring to life the family and the Church a precious gift of faith. Family life – the home church is a place where grandparents feel loved and love themselves. Thanks to their own life experiences they gained knowledge and maturity. It is a valuable wealth that can be shared with the younger generation by giving him advice and instruction. Sharing the beauty of their lives, they provide support and understanding in times of difficult decisions and choices for their children and grandchildren. Elderly people also make a great contribution to evangelization. They usually do this in family homes. That's where grandchildren learn the basics of the truths of faith, thanks to their grandparents.

Old age is suffering. It is important that a person in the experience of the disease discover an opportunity for internal development. So he could use it for the benefit of others to make it a tool of apostolic influence. John Paul II notes that despite the weakness and experience of various ailments, the elderly have much to offer to the modern man: “The elders can give you much more than you can imagine”.
