Here are some wise and true words from Pope Francis:
“To emerge from a pandemic, we need to look after and care for each other. And we must support those who care for the weakest, the sick and the elderly. There is the tendency to cast the elderly aside, to abandon them: this is bad. These people — well defined by the Spanish term cuidadores (caretakers), those who take care of the sick — play an essential role in today’s society, even if they often do not receive the recognition and recompense they deserve. Caring is a golden rule of our nature as human beings, and brings with it health and. Taking care of those who are sick, of those who are in need, of those who are cast aside: this is a human and also Christian wealth.”
