Vatican City, Sep 30, 2019 / 12:00 pm (CNA).- In his morning homily at the Vatican’s Santa Marta guesthouse, Pope Francis said Monday that the vibrant presence of elderly and young people in communities demonstrates the presence of God.

“The abundance of elderly people and children. This is the sign that when a people care for the old and for the young, and consider them a treasure, there is the presence of God, a promise of future,” the pope said Sept. 30.
