The work of government is also mentioned in the Bible when Jesus Christ called the tax collectors. Matthew was a tax collector who was called by Jesus Christ and accepted as he did the work according to the responsibility entrusted to him. The publicans were civil servants, tax collectors in the ports, demanding exorbitant taxes, but accepting to transform themselves into fishers of men. Catechesis on work, in collaboration with P. Rakotondramanana Soloniaina Jean Emilien.

The relationship between work and money is a misconception, because work existed before money. Money is the result of work. When money is important, we become slaves to others. The holy family lived by work, not by begging on the street. God exalts work. Catechesis on work, in collaboration with P. Rakotondramanana Soloniaina Jean Emilien.

Craftsmanship expresses identity. Peter is a leader; fishing shows that Peter is a complete person. Many people followed Peter, he left his reputation and accepted Jesus Christ; Peter's social identity changed and he defined a new existence. Catechesis on work, in collaboration with P. Rakotondramanana Soloniaina Jean Emilien.

The sea is a sign of evil, but in this world, Jesus called his disciples to be fishers of men. The work of a fisherman requires determination, because it is tiring, and it also requires patience, that is, it requires mental strength and courage. The meaning of the word "fishing" here is to bring humanity out of the darkness of the world into the great light. Catechesis on work, in collaboration with P. Rakotondramanana Soloniaina Jean Emilien.
