A prayer to honour and cherish the elderly - Let's Pray with James O'Connor
from Archdiocese of Brisbane · host Archdiocese of Brisbane
June 15 marks World Elder Abuse Awareness Day—a time to reflect on the dignity and worth of every person, especially our elders. Like family violence, elder abuse is a grave injustice, rooted in the misuse of power and control. Sadly, older people may experience abuse in their own homes or relationships. Many suffer in silence, unable or unwilling to share their concerns. As Catholics, we are called to stand with the vulnerable. We invite you to join us in prayer with James for the elderly, that they may be protected from harm, neglect, and exploitation. May God grant them the justice, compassion, and dignity they so deeply deserve.
