At last, the official flyer presenting "The Blessing of a Long Life," the meeting of elderly people and grandparents with Pope Francis, on September 28th, is available in five languages.
In the center of the flyer is the picture of an elderly man watching over a child, sleeping on his chest: the two faces represent the two poles of life, their proximity with the deep mystery of life, and the indispensable, fundamental task, that lies before the wrinkled face, furrowed by time and now full of wisdom, and he gifts to be transmitted to the soil that, on the contrary, is entirely helpless and uneducated: his nephew.
To reinforce even more the significance of the picture, a verse of Psalm 71:18 summarizes, in a few lines, the noble task to which the old man is called: "So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to all the generations to come."
