In his sermon, the pope told his listeners that old age was a time when Christians must learn to accept the help of others — even in the basic tasks of day to day life. He compared the helplessness of old age to the serenity of giving up control of one's life to God.
"Your following [of Jesus Christ] will have to learn to allow itself to be instructed and molded by your frailty, your helplessness, your dependence on others, even in dressing, in walking," said Pope Francis.
