Grandparenting is truly a holy adventure. As we see and bring forth the inner divinity of our grandchildren, we have the opportunity to show them that they are not only our beloved grandchildren but God's children as well, infinite in worth and possibility. Grandparenting also takes us beyond our relationships with our own grandchildren to care for children everywhere. What kind of world do we hope for them-and what will we do about it?


This book is an invitation to consider grandparenting as a spiritual and ethical vocation. Authentic spirituality is earthly good as well as heavenly minded. As we commit ourselves to love and pray for our grandchildren, we can also work to create a just and healthy world for all grandchildren.
