Cerith Gardiner on Pope Leo XIV Inspiring Modern Grandparenting

"If you've ever watched Pope Leo XIV greet children at an audience, you'll have noticed something quietly remarkable. He doesn't rush. He bends down, looks the child in the eye, and listens - really listens. It's a small gesture, but it speaks volumes. In a world that prizes speed and noise, Pope Leo reminds us that love often begins with something simple: attention."

In a recent commentary using the example of this event, writer Cerith Gardiner reflected on grandparents may find "surprising guidance in the way Pope Leo XIV lives and leads."
