Strikingly illustrated and popularly written.
Year after year hundreds of thousands of responsible adults get asked to become godparents and accept without quite knowing what exactly is expected of them and how they might best try and fulfill the role. Someone to watch over me sets out to explain where the tradition of godparents comes from, what is involved in being a godparent, how parents should choose godparents for their children and provide ideas and resources for how godparents can perform the role better.

The duties of a godparent don't have to - and shouldn't - end on a godchild's baptism day. Perhaps there is no greater gift we can give our godchild than the gift of our ongoing prayers. As godparents we can help the life of grace flourish within their souls in praying fervently for them, aiding God in transforming them into the persons He desires them to be. Allow this simple prayer guide and journal to give you the motivation and tools you need to make praying for your godchild a priority this year—and always.

I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord.
