“Blessed are those who have not lost hope” is the theme for the fifth World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly, which will be observed in the Catholic Church July 27.
With the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v Wade, June 24 will no doubt be remembered as an historic day by pro-life advocates the world over. I have to admit that my thoughts were elsewhere that day – focused on life’s last stage – as my family bid farewell to a beloved uncle, our family patriarch.
