Stories of a Generation – Struggle
During one of his daily prayer sessions, Pope Francis received an inspiration: to shine a light on the vital role of grandparents and other elders. Out of this inspiration the book Sharing the Wisdom of Time was created by Pope Francis and Friends. It is a collection of stories about elders from around the world. Elders share their wisdom carved from lifetimes of experiences. Every story is a testament to the power of faith, perseverance, human resilience, and love offered to young people.Â
The book became the inspiration for the Netflix’s 4 part docuseries called, Stories of a Generation with Pope Francis. Join us for the viewing of the segment called Struggle. An elder from our own local community will share their story on Struggle, too. A copy of the book will be raffled off.
