"The Pharisees and the scribes gathered around Jesus". We too meet every day or every Sunday in church, but is it really with Christ that we meet, or is it around a person, an idea, or anything else besides God? Is it out of love or out of fear or out of habit?

In addition, Jesus warns us against the appearances and obligations of traditions because laws are not made to hinder. The commandment must set us free and arouse in us a continual desire for God. So let our relationship with God not be a mere habit or an obligation but an impulse of sincere and genuine love.

Also on this 11th February, the Church celebrates the 28th World Day of Prayer for the Sick, Physicians and Caregivers. May through Mary's intercession they be able to confidently associate their sufferings with those of Christ so that they may share in his glory. Amen.

For a genuine and authentic transformation

“Let your love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good” (Romans 12:9). Message from the Episcopal Conference of Madagascar to the Catholic faithful, to the leaders and officials of the nation, to young Malagasy people without distinction, to all our compatriots, and to all people of good will.

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.

Zatti, our brother

The short film "Zatti, our brother" (Argentina, 2020) focuses on one of the most difficult episodes of his life. We are in Viedma, in 1941: at the age of 60, Zatti is forced to leave the hospital he has attended for decades. His faith and strength are tested.
