Old age is something our society finds embarrassing; we speak o it only it terms of how it can be coped with, postponed or avoided altogether, of how we can manage to 'stay young'. This collection of poetry and prose provides the ideal antidote to this negative way of thinking as it celebrates the joys and blessings of growing older. Written by members of the Society of the Sacred Heart, a worldwide congregation of religious sisters, On The Way Home is both light hearted and profound, honest but filled with hope. The contributions are full of wisdom, and stress the opportunities for growth, pilgrimage and gratitude that old age brings with it.
