The Catechism of the Catholic Church calls those who have devoted themselves to the service of the Church "ordained minister," thus "doing his work among the People of God in teaching, worship, and administration as shepherds." It has three levels: bishop, priest and deacon. Catechesis on "Nurturing the priestly vocation", with Fr. Abdon Rafidison.

A vocation to holiness is the only vocation that God calls everyone, therefore whoever is, is called to be holy. It is up to each one to sanctify himself, in the church, by prayer, his capacity to love God and his neighbor. Catechesis on vocation, with Fr. Wagner Randriamampandry.

The key to the path to holiness is the commitment to repent and follow all that Christ preached in the gospel, live the commandments of love and be willing to take up his cross. Catechesis on vocation, with Fr. Wagner Randriamampandry

It should be noted, however, that finite holiness can never be viewed as holiness, but can be viewed as a temporary holiness. True holiness is living a long life, finding joy even in the most difficult circumstances. Catechesis on vocation, with Fr. Wagner Randriamampandry
