The disciples will have to endure hard trials of persecution. They need strength and assurance to bear witness to this new life offered by Jesus. The Spirit of Truth or Advocate will be that strength and assurance. Jesus was the first to endure his trials: his contemporaries did not want to see him as God's envoy and this cost him his life. Likewise, for the disciples and for us Christians, witnessing to Jesus can cost us to the point of losing our lives, so the Spirit of Truth is there so that our faith does not waver. Besides, Jesus has already said: "Courage! I am the conqueror of the world".

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.
