Spirituality in the elderly adult

Abstract

When the man and the woman have an approach with God it is because their spirituality has been gradually strengthened. Remember what the apostle Paul tells us: "Walk in the Spirit." Older adults live in our Catholic temples and not only pray, pray and perform novenas in front of the Blessed Sacrament but also, they are part of the secular apostolate groups that have parishes, there they feel good and contribute to social activities organized by our Holy Mother Church. The friends of the third age who are on this spiritual walk are mirrors for many and even more for their loved ones, among them as well as with their children and grandchildren, because they teach them the first steps of the path of faith, as an itinerary to believe, trust and abandon yourself in the hands of the one who gives the true peace that is God. Their gray hair and wrinkles are indications of the experience they have of life and of course of the personal experience they have loving God and neighbor. We are all called to imitate these grandparents of ours on this spiritual path to be able to grow and live as true Christians and thus achieve holiness that is also a grace of God.
