FR TOM WRITES
This Sunday, the Feast of St Joachim and St Anne, we celebrate the World Day for Grandparents. The day is a joyful encounter between young and old, emphasizing the importance of grandparents and the elderly in families and communities. At times we take grandparents for granted, or we leave it too late to recognise how important they are in our lives; this Sunday let us give thanks for all we receive through our grandparents, and pray that those who have gone before us may now be enjoying their eternal reward in Heaven. In turn, we pray that grandparents may continue to form the younger generations in the knowledge and love of God.
