Who are the Godfather and Godmother? After the mother and father are the ones who should pay the most attention in the faith life of a child. In addition to the earthly responsibility, there is a great responsibility given by heaven at the time of the baptism. That is what is left of Godparents.
Becoming the Godparent of a baby is not a trivial task. Especially in today’s world. Dear Godfather, Your responsibility increases from head to toe when those who abandon the faith without regard to faith, religion, or God are of the younger generation. So one thing to think about is what I need to do to become a good parent. Here are two things that can help you:
Maintain a good relationship with the parents
Do you have a good relationship with the parents of the baptized kid? This is a question you have to ask yourself. The child’s parents may be your relatives or friends. Through your friendship with anyone, you can find out the details of your baptized son/daughter. Are parents giving their children proper faith training? Babies can know if there is a devaluation. Accordingly, you, along with the parents, can assist the child in matters of faith.
You can stand up for the children
You just have stood for the kids whom you be the Godparents. Let the father and mother share with you the friendship that the children have made with you as friends. It can lead them to a habit of sharing even their stresses. Having someone who can give the right suggestions to share according to their problem will help the spiritual and physical growth of the baby. So it is good to be a Godparent. And do not forget to pray for them.
