Abstract

Growing Up starts from the premise that once the family nest is empty and professional activities have ceased, an elderly person is still a growing person. Even if specialists in human development who have dealt with this subject can enlighten us, the wisdom of certain characters in the New and Old Testaments can guide us in a special way. In reading the Bible, priests, pastoral counsellors and seniors will discover a companion which can help them in their reflections and which can also serve to guide pastoral interventions.
