As written in Genesis, God always blesses, and this began with the creation of the world; He blessed all creation, whether human or animal, to multiply throughout the earth. He blessed humans to be stewards of creation and also taught humans to give blessings. Catechesis on blessing, in collaboration with Fr Philippe Ranaivoarisoa.

The good shepherd also remains faithful in the face of the sinfulness of his own people: the good shepherd continues to be a father, even when his children move away and abandon him. He perseveres in his service as a shepherd even in the face of those who lead him to dirty his hands; he does not close his heart to those who may have caused him pain. Catechesis on intercessory prayer, in collaboration with Fr Mamiarisoa Modeste Randrianifahanana.

When a believer, moved by the Holy Spirit, prays for sinners, he does not make selections, he does not pass judgement: he prays for everyone. In a psalm it says: Lord, no one living before you is righteous, not one of us; we are all sinners - we are all debtors with an outstanding account, there is no one who is without sin in your sight. Catechesis on intercessory prayer, in collaboration with Fr Mamiarisoa Modeste Randrianifahanana.

Prayer for man, simply for man. He who does not love his brother does not pray seriously. In a spirit of hatred, you can't pray; in a spirit of indifference, you can't pray. He who knows the sadness or joy of another goes deeper than he who investigates “great systems”. Catechesis on Intercessory Prayer, in collaboration with Fr.
