As fun and special as time spent with grandchildren can be, we know that being a grandparent is a supporting role.

So, how can grandparents truly make a difference in their grandchildren’s lives? Grandparents have the unique opportunity to be holy role models by continuing to grow in their faith and by living the values of the Gospel message in the following ways:

• Putting others first
• Accepting without judging
• Showing compassion to the needy
• Looking with awe at God’s creation
• Living peacefully
• Having courage
• Being generous
• Being content with what you have
• Loving unconditionally
• Looking to the future with hope
• Being joyful
• Expressing gratitude

The book 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.
