A question sent to me by a reader was, "How are the Elderly treated in Mexico?"
Our personal observation has been that they are venerated to the point of being called sages. I have heard more than once of Mexican young people referring to their Elderly relatives as sages.

Miracles and the Church of Ta Pinu
In March of 1994 my wife and I made our first trip to the island of Malta. I had read about it for much of my life, and the time had finally come for us to go. We found a night flight leaving Gatwick and arrived late at night. I expected that we would have an intersting time, but I didn't really think it was possible that a trip to a cathedral could possibly save my wife Evelyn's life. Especially since we are not even Roman Catholic. But both of us are convinced that a tiny bit of metal she bought could have kept her alive when she was struck by a speeding car two months later.
