Plus je l'écoute, plus je l'aime

Saturday May 1, 2021 - Fourth week of Paschal Time - If you remain in my word, you are truly my disciples; then you will know the truth, says the Lord - Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 14, 7-14

Jesus teaches us about the Father. He explains that He and the Father are one. The disciples wanted to know the Father; reason why Jesus tells them that you have already seen the Father, because he who has seen the Son has seen the Father, but you do not believe: "I am in the Father and that the Father is in me." This is the mystery of the Trinity.

It is difficult for us Christians to understand this mystery if we do not have faith, for only faith can help us understand the mystery of God's infinite love for us. Even the apostles, Philip in this case, could not understand this mystery, because his faith was not yet deep. Jesus tries to explain to them that "I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or at least believe because of the works themselves." Jesus wanted to make Philip understand that the work of the Son is none other than the work of the Father. Let us therefore ask for the grace of always thirsting to deepen our faith in the Holy Trinity.

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.
