God’s Guide for Grandparents
“Very often it is grandparents who
ensure that the most important
values are passed down to their
grandchildren, and many people
can testify that they owe their
initiation into the Christian life to
their grandparents.” - Pope Francis,
Apostolic Exhortation The Joy of Love.
As fun and special as time spent with
grandchildren can be, we know that
being a grandparent is a supporting -
and not a starring - role. So, how can
grandparents truly make a difference
in their grandchildren’s lives?
God’s Guide for Grandparents
draws on sacred Scripture, the
example of the saints, the teachings
of the Church, the writings of Pope
Francis, and anecdotes from today’s
grandparents. Grandchildren are
always watching. Make the most of
your opportunity to have a positive
and lasting impact in their lives.
