“The Lord does not entrust his talents only to the young and the strong. He has talents for everyone, made to fit each person, the elderly too… The previous skills of active life lose their constraint and become resources to be given away: teaching, advising, building, caring, listening… preferably in favour of the most disadvantaged who cannot afford any learning or who are abandoned in their loneliness.”
General Audience May 2022

Description: Life Ascending is a Catholic movement of the Church, open to all men and women who have reached a ‘certain age’ in life. Encouraging them to be messengers of peace and calm, particularly for those who are still unsure and too fearful to go out and about once more. Our blessed Lord is with us and by studying His Holy Word, together, we can find answers to the difficulties and problems that face us and what He is asking of us at this stage of life.

Life Ascending offers friendship and spirituality to older people helping them to deepen or recover their faith, with absolute confidence in God. To achieve these ends most members meet regularly within Parish Life Ascending groups. Others known as Associates share all the other benefits, being part of a powerhouse of prayer, receiving the Life Ascending Newsletter three or four times per year, and meeting other members at Reflection Days, Retreats and other gatherings.
