Pope Francis spoke about the wisdom and knowledge of the faith older people can share with the young at a book presentation Tuesday.
"One of the virtues of grandparents is that they have seen many things in their lives," the pope said Oct. 23. "I advise [grandparents to have] a lot of love, a lot of tenderness… and prayers" for the young people in their lives who have left the faith.
"The faith is transmitted always in dialect. The dialect of the home, the dialect of friendship," he said.
Pope Francis answered a series of questions from both young and elderly people at the presentation of a book published in Italian and English, called "Sharing the Wisdom of Time."
