Commonly, grandparents become very fond of their grandchildren that it almost seemed as if they loved them more than they do their children. But that is not necessarily the case. First of all, grandparents have a role to play and so they need to get involved and by doing so, they foster the kind of relationship they all display. That is what is common in the Catholic grandparents association.
Just like when adults became parents, their joy in having a child is incomparable. But at least that sentiment is not exclusive. It is because grannies too are as happy and excited as the parents are that they almost assume the baby as theirs. Well that is always the case and the explanation goes like this.
Since grannies were parents as well, they know how it feels to have a child. And you cannot change the fact that they love their children as much as ever. Even now that they already have their own family. If you are to recall, when you were a bit younger, do not your parents consider even your friends as a very close kin. And that is all because they are related to you.
Well in a Catholic family, there is nothing more important than molding the child into being a good Christian. And it is primarily and obviously the work of the parents. But there will always be a need for help. Given the fact that there is much concern and challenges which the parents face in their daily life, the grannies hold a paramount role.
Truly. In a Catholic family, nothing is more important than teaching and leading the child into the way of truth and life which is in God alone. Just as these grannies who were parents of the present ones before put their all to this mission, so do they have the same goal for their grandchildren. Thus, the association of Catholic grannies emerged.
Because of this, the association of catholic grandparents emerged. This group was founded by a granny as well who was a very loving one. She is Catherine Wiley and their vocation has been over ten years now. And it is such a blessing that this community emerged. According to the association, it is their responsibility, duty, and vocation to do what they can.
And it was such an inspiration for the group when the Holy Father, Pope Francis spoke of how he greatly loved his grandmother Rosa who became his teacher of faith. Because of this, all the elders who have taken his message were moved to play their role. And with this, the grannies took on their mission.
While the association did what they can to extend their apostolate far and wide so that all the grandparents in the world who wish to partake in this important role would be taught how and also be encouraged to engage in their mission work for Christ with utmost inspiration.
