“Caring for the elderly is not a job that many people like to do. In the world we live in it is regarded as burdensome and useless–Many of the elderly are put aside, forgotten…what you are actually doing (in caring for the elderly) is that you are safe-guarding the memory of the Church’s family, the memory of faith.
Our Lord said, whatever you do to the least of my brother you do unto me. (Matthew 25:40) When you sing to the elderly, when you pray to them, when you caress them or show tenderness, you are doing it to Christ. — You will have a surprise one day. You will find that in caring for the elderly, doors will be opened to an encounter with Christ.”
