*     A few words this month  Fr. Sawano

On the Holy Year (Part 5)

In the context of the Jubilee Year, the Holy Father speaks especially of those for whom he bears particular concern.

 

1)First, he refers to the sick and to those who live in difficult circumstances, experiencing a sense of powerlessness. He urges that a sign of hope be extended to them, and that they may receive comprehensive and compassionate care.

 

2)Secondly, he speaks of the youth. “They are, by their very presence, a sign of hope, and yet they themselves are in need of signs of hope.” The Holy Father calls on society as a whole to ensure that young people are supported in their studies and employment, lest their dreams be extinguished and they fall into despair or self-destructive behavior.

 

3)As for the elderly, he notes that they often feel loneliness or a sense of abandonment, and affirms that they, too, are most deserving of signs of hope. He emphasizes: “I am thinking especially of grandparents, who represent the transmission of faith and the wisdom of life to the younger generations.”
