August 15, 2024 — Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary — Solemnity — Mary is taken up to heaven; a chorus of angels exults — Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke (Lk 1: 39-56)

When Elijah pleaded with God, saying: "Listen to me, Lord, listen to me" so that these people would accept that You are the Lord God and that only You can turn their hearts around again. Fire poured out and burnt the sacrifice, and the wood, the stones, the earth and the surrounding waters dried up. Fire symbolises God's purifying power. Catechesis on the prayer of Elijah, in collaboration with Fr Ramamonjisoa Herizo Elie.

August 14, 2024 — Wednesday, Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time — God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation — Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew (Mt 18: 15-20)

When it came to faith, Elijah truly believed and dared to testify to his faith before those around him. The meaning of the name "The Lord is my God" already lends great power to his faith in God and is deeply wrapped up in the secret of his mission. Elijah showed his faith through fire; he asked God to send fire to burn the sacrifice. Catechesis on the prayer of Elijah, in collaboration with Fr Ramamonjisoa Herizo Elie.
