In fact, care for the godson is not expressed in monetary terms. The godparents undertake to lead the godson to the church before the Lord, to tell him about the significance of Christianity in the life of each person, to lead to the sacrament. Future godmothers must certainly know the information, what prayers you need to know when baptizing a child.
Prayer before the child's baptism
Before the baby becomes a true Christian, three prayers are read over him - "On the Day of Birth", "On the Naming" and "Prayer of the Day 40", or "Mother's Prayer". They are read by the priest, and it is not necessary to know the recipients (the godparents).
A prayer for the baptism of a child for the godmother and godfather
Perceivers (godparents) must necessarily know three obligatory prayers. In some churches, those who do not know can not be baptized to the sacrament. The most basic prayer for the baptism of a child is the Creed. It can be found in the Prayer Book and memorized, or you can find out in the church whether it is possible to read it during the sacrament. Here are her words in Russian:
"I believe in one God, Father, Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, all visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the One-Native, begotten of the Father before all ages: Light from Light, True God from true God, born, not created, one being with the Father, He is all disposed of.
For the sake of us people and for our salvation from Heaven, and received flesh from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became a man. Crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and buried, and resurrected on the third day, according to the Scriptures. And he ascended into Heaven, and sat on the right side of the Father.
And again coming with glory, to judge the living and the dead, His kingdom will have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, who gives life from the Father outgoing, with the Father and the Son, co-worshiped and glorified, speaking through the prophets. In a single, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I await the resurrection of the dead and the life of the next century. Amen (it is true). "
In addition to the Creed, it is necessary to know two short prayers about the godson, which are read daily at bedtime for your godson:
"Lord Jesus Christ, wake me up a little on my godchild (my goddaughter) (my name), keep it under your roof, cover from all evil deceit, detach from him (her) every enemy and adversary, open to him ( her) ears and eyes of the heart, give me affection and humility to his (her) heart. "
"Save, O Lord, and have mercy on my godchild (my godmother) (name), and enlighten him (her) with the light of the mind of your holy gospel and instruct him (her) in the path of your commandments and teach him (her). Savior, do thy will, for Thou art our God, and we send glory to Thee, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen".
