Plus je l'écoute, plus je l'aime

Sunday, March 27, 2022 — Fourth Sunday of Lent, of Lætare — I will arise, I will go to my father, and I will say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you — Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 15, 1-3. 11-32

From this Gospel, we can clearly see the immensity of the love that God bears to man. Through this parable, Jesus shows us that God is Father, loving and merciful. He loves us with an equal love for all, without favouritism. Also, there is no place for jealousy in our relationship with God and others, otherwise we risk relegating to the rank of servant, who slavishly obeys, our status as sons. Thus, living Lent does not only consist in praying, fasting and sharing, but also and above all in becoming aware and fully living this love that God has for us.

Message from the Bishops at the end of the Pilgrimage

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, You who have come in such large numbers to take part in this national pilgrimage, as well as all of you who are following it from home through the media. We, the bishops of Madagascar, would like to express our deep gratitude to you for having responded to our invitation and for having brought this jubilee initiated by Pope Francis to life spiritually. With you, we take up Mary's song: ‘My soul exalts the Lord’ and we repeat with her: ‘What shall I repay the Lord for all the good he has done me?’....

Love and Salvation

Christmas is a great joy, because it is the love of God that has come to us, proclaims Fr. Bizimana Innocent, Provincial Superior of the Salesians Don Bosco of Madagascar and Mauritius, presenting his Christmas greetings. Salvation is accomplished, so life is not in danger of disappearing. It is this love and this salvation that we wish to fill our life so that we have peace.
