Prov 17, 6 Grandchildren are the crown of old men

(Prov 17, 6) Grandchildren are the crown of old men

[6] Grandchildren are the crown of old men, and the glory of children is their parentage.

(CCC 2219) Filial respect promotes harmony in all of family life; it also concerns relationships between brothers and sisters. Respect toward parents fills the home with light and warmth. "Grandchildren are the crown of the aged" (Prov 17:6). "With all humility and meekness, with patience, [support] one another in charity" (Eph 4:2).
