Il Vangelo della domenica di Monsignor Paglia
Dal Vangelo secondo Giovanni - 10,1-10
In quel tempo, Gesù disse:
«In verità, in verità io vi dico: chi non entra nel recinto delle pecore dalla porta, ma vi sale da un’altra parte, è un ladro e un brigante. Chi invece entra dalla porta, è pastore delle pecore.
Il guardiano gli apre e le pecore ascoltano la sua voce: egli chiama le sue pecore, ciascuna per nome, e le conduce fuori. E quando ha spinto fuori tutte le sue pecore, cammina davanti a esse, e le pecore lo seguono perché conoscono la sua voce. Un estraneo invece non lo seguiranno, ma fuggiranno via da lui, perché non conoscono la voce degli estranei».
Gesù disse loro questa similitudine, ma essi non capirono di che cosa parlava loro.
Allora Gesù disse loro di nuovo: «In verità, in verità io vi dico: io sono la porta delle pecore. Tutti coloro che sono venuti prima di me, sono ladri e briganti; ma le pecore non li hanno ascoltati. Io sono la porta: se uno entra attraverso di me, sarà salvato; entrerà e uscirà e troverà pascolo.
Il ladro non viene se non per rubare, uccidere e distruggere; io sono venuto perché abbiano la vita e l’abbiano in abbondanza».

The Elderly People's Bill of Rights.
So that the longer life given to us by elders may be defended, loved and peaceful
La Foundation aims to promote and guarantee the rights of the elderly person and the related duties of the community.
Within this horizon that places the person, with his or her needs and frailties, at the center of thinking about the elderly, the Foundation intends to creatively and intelligently promote new and wiser policies in favor of the elderly in the areas of employment, culture and education, public health, economic protection, active aging and social inclusion.
In this sense, it also promotes the research and enhancement of initiatives aimed at improving the condition of the over-65s by promoting their development and activating all kinds of counteracting discrimination, marginalization, loneliness and social isolation, aware of the need for a defense of the permanence of those who are ahead in years at their homes, the place of their history and identity.
Charter of Elderly People's Rights and Community Duties sees the light of day
“We need to conceive of old age as a “great age” in which frailty coexists with enormous potential, with the possibility of still contributing much to civic and social life.” The Charter of Elderly People's Rights and Community Duties outlines the basis of what could be a UN Convention for the Elderly, in all analogy to that which protects the life of the child. The Charter also identifies the obligations that every society and-we would like-every country assumes in view of the best interest of the survival of the elderly in conditions of dignity and inclusion.
