October 2, 2023 — Monday, Twenty-sixth Week in Ordinary Time — Bless the LORD, all you angels, you ministers, who do his will — Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew (Mt 18: 1-5, 10)

The first patron saint of the island of Madagascar is Marie Immaculée, celebrated every 8 December. September 27th is the feast day of Saint Vincent de Paul, the island's second patron saint, who was a protector and an example of charity. He was only 19 years old and already a priest. Charity is the character of God that Saint Vincent de Paul lived. Pope Francis is one of those who live this love for the poor, and he has even written a document in which he talks about the Church and poverty, entitled "Evangelii Gaudium".

If we want to strengthen relationships, it begins in the family, in respect God love; if you want society to be decent, let's strengthen moral values; if you want society to develop, let's help the family to seek the development of its means of subsistence; if we want freedom, peace and union to be established, let's strengthen family relationships. Catechesis on the family, in collaboration with Fr Eric Frank Randriamiandrinirinarivo.
