World Day for Grandparents
Last year, I joined local Caritas workers in paying a home visit to a 98-year-old woman who startled me by saying, “Father, I don’t know what cardinal sin I have committed that makes God let me live so long.”
People all around the world wish themselves longevity, but why did this elderly woman express such a gloomy thought?
Her statement also made me question whether those who live long are receiving a blessing or a punishment from God.
