Intergenerational Solidarity
"Stand up in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly."
— Leviticus 19:32
God of all generations,
We live in a world that too often separates generations. Young people on one side, elders on the other. Yet we have so much to offer each other.
Help us build bridges between generations. May the young learn from the wisdom of elders, may elders be enriched by the energy of youth. May we form a community where every age has its place.
May I honor those who came before me and support those who follow. Intergenerational solidarity enriches all of society.
Amen.

Reflection
What person from another generation could you meet and listen to? What do you have to learn from them?
For dialogue and respect between all generations.
