In his prayer, Elijah invokes the God of his ancestors who had made a covenant of peace with them and who never ceased to renew the promise in that covenant. Not only did he build the house of the Lord, but he led the people to look back and helped them to move forward in depth, giving importance to the past. Catechesis on the prayer of Elijah, in collaboration with P. Ramamonjisoa Herizo Élie.
