Friday, April 10, 2020 - Good Friday - Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ according to St. John 18, 1-40; 19, 1-42 - For us, Christ became obedient, even unto death, and death from the cross. That is why God exalted him: he endowed him with the Name which is above every name.

Jesus gave Himself on the cross out of love for us. This is neither a tale nor a legend: God accepted death so that we could live. "All is accomplished," He said, and then he bowed his head.

Jesus let himself be crucified out of love for us all. But we, in our daily lives, in case of difficulties, do not stop recriminating against God. Not wanting to carry our cross, we sometimes even blame Him. Jesus, help us to trust in your love, and teach us to bear our cross. Amen.

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.

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.
