The work of housewives is a vocation from God. The concept of work is well known from 3 parables in the Holy Scriptures. Work is a form of servitude when it is not voluntary. An example is the prodigal son: he is not a free person but is forced by time and hunger. Work has a clear agreement to work fairly. Catechesis on work, in collaboration with P. Rakotondramanana Soloniaina Jean Emilien.

The form of work in the parable of the prodigal son is slave labour, because he lives with animals.

Rakotondramanana Soloniaina Jean Emilien.
