Friday, October 15, 2021 - Twenty-eighth week of Ordinary Time - May your love, Lord, be upon us, as our hope is in you - Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 12, 1-7

In this Gospel, Jesus warns us against hypocrisy and then against persecution. Hypocrisy is like yeast, capable of corrupting the masses, the people, and even the Christian community. But it deceives us, it does not last long because sooner or later the truth comes to light. The followers of Jesus should not be hypocrites because they are called to proclaim the Word of God publicly, freely, and with courage.

Then, Jesus invites us to have courage and confidence in the time of persecution. Our current situation as a Christian is uncertain and full of hostility. Let us not be afraid because physical death is superficial and does not touch the deeper reality of man; it does not deprive us of real life.

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.
