Season of Hope Prayers & Reflections on Aging Little Sisters of the Poor 6 Table of Contents Foreword ........................ 9 Prayers .......................... 11 Reflections ................... 35 Afterword ..................... 49 References .................... 50 8 AfterwordForeword Foreword We are in the midst of a demographic revolution as the world’s population rapidly ages and the very old begin to outnumber the very young. According to United Nations estimates, today there are about 600 million persons aged 60 and over worldwide. This total will double by 2025 and will reach virtually two billion by 2050. In traditional societies, the elderly were generally supported by their children and grandchildren as their strength waned. But in many parts of the world today seniors are forced to remain in the workforce longer in order to support themselves or their families. In some cases, they find themselves isolated from younger family members who have relocated, while in others they assume care-giving and homemaking roles within their extended families. At the same time, health and social services for senior citizens are often inadequate, and professionals working in these fields commonly lack the training and the empathy necessary to understand the unique needs of the elderly population. As children, many of us learned the old saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.” But as we grew up we realized that words really are powerful, with the force to make both war and peace, to both lift up and tear down the human spirit.

  • Ex-British Prime Minister Received Into Catholic Church
    Ex-British Prime Minister received into Catholic Church LONDON – Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair became a Catholic during a private ceremony in London. Mr. Blair, previously an Anglican, was received into full communion with the Catholic Church by Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor of Westminster. Mr. Blair was sponsored at the Mass of reception by his wife, Cherie, a Catholic. The Dec. 21 Mass at Archbishop’s House, the cardinal’s private residence, was attended by Mr. Blair’s family and close friends. Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor said in a statement Dec. 22 that he was “very glad” to welcome Mr. Blair into church. “For a long time he has been a regular worshipper at Mass with his family and in recent months he has been following a program of formation to prepare for his reception into full communion,” the cardinal said. “My prayers are with him, his wife and family at this joyful moment in their journey of faith together.” Mr. Blair, 54, served as British prime minister from May 1997 until June 2007. He now serves as envoy to the Middle East for the Quartet, a group comprised of the United Nations, the European Union, the United States and Russia. He was admitted into the church using the liturgical rite of reception of a baptized Christian, which involved him making a profession of faith during the course of the Mass. He was given doctrinal and spiritual preparation by Monsignor Mark O’ Toole, the cardinal’s private secretary, and also made a full confession before his reception. For most of his adult life, Mr.

  • Billy Graham's Catholic Connection
    Billy Graham’s Catholic Connection By John Ashbrook As I picked up the Lake County News Herald for February 9, 1984 my eye was arrested by a headline which stated: “Graham’s Help on Vatican Ties.” The article proved to be an Associated Press release which said.- A spokesman for Billy Graham confirms that the evangelist played a behind- the-scenes role in President Reagan’s decision to establish formal diplomatic relations with the Vatican, a newspaper reported Yesterday Early in 1983, Graham was asked by the president and adviser William Clark to make informal, private inquiries among evangelical Protestant leaders about likely response to such an action, said Donald Bialy, media director for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association in Minneapolis. A copy of the seven-page letter that the Baptist evangelist sent to Clark was obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times, which quoted Graham as saying, ‘If anyone can do it and get away with it, it is Mr. Reagan.’\ Generally moderate evangelicals were described by Graham as presenting few problems, especially if the point were made that the Pope was being recognized as a political head and not in his religious capacity. Since the birth of new evangelicalism in 1948, fundamentalists and new evangelicals had not agreed on many things. But, both groups had always stood in opposition to formal diplomatic relations with the Vatican. In reacting to the President’s request, Mr. Graham might have become a spokesman for millions of Bible-believers by expressing solid opposition to Mr. Reagan’s proposed move. Instead, he chose to be an accomplice in a national crime.
