Tuesday July 27, 2021 - Seventeenth week in Ordinary Time - The seed is the word of God, the sower is Christ; whoever finds him remains forever - Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 13, 36-43

At the request of his disciples, Jesus explains the parable of the tares. In his explanation, Jesus lets us know that the world we live in is a battleground between the sons of the Kingdom and those of the Evil One before the coming of the final judgment. In this judgment, Jesus warns us that there will be harvesting and sorting.

So we have to engage in the present because the final fate is being played out today. Here, Jesus does not seek to frighten us, but rather, he urges us to live under the horizon of the expectation of the accomplishment of all things in God in patience, trust, because it is through committing in this that we will become imitators of the holiness of God, that is to say, we behave as "children of the Kingdom".

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.
