Before leading the midday Angelus on October 16, 2022, the Pope considered the seemingly impossible exhortation of Scripture: pray always and don't lose heart.
The Pope acknowledged:
A solution, he suggested, is a "wise spiritual practice for this real difficulty that the elderly, especially our grandparents, know well can come to our aid, which is a bit forgotten today."
He said he was referring to the quick, short prayers known as "aspirations." They are also referred to as "arrow prayers."
