5th Sunday - Year D - Celebration of Easter: The fruits of Easter: joy and love. A new commandment I give you, says the Lord: Love one another; as I have loved you, so you also should love one another. You could say that it was like a testament, making known to everyone the message that Jesus left, about loving one another, which all his disciples should live by. The friends mentioned in the Gospel are not just those of the same faith or origin, but all the people to whom love should be shown. The love of ‘friends’ for Christians is not just the result of a compassionate heart, but a true imitation of Jesus Christ himself and what he did...

Second Sunday - Easter Year D: My Lord and my God; Jesus stood in the midst of his disciples and said, "Peace be with you! Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed!" The Word of God shared on this Mercy Sunday speaks of the power to forgive. God is merciful and compassionate, he never forgets his covenant, and his mercy lasts forever. God does not choose anyone to bless him. Mercy is a special attribute of God, mercy does not mean weakness but is a true manifestation of God's power...

Palm Sunday: Meditation on the Lord's Passion; Commemoration of the Lord's entry into Jerusalem. For our sake, Christ became obedient to the point of death, even death on the Cross. In return, God exalted him and gave him the Name that is above every name. We are children made to submit, to obey with love. We have many sins and weaknesses, so let us imitate Saint Peter, that is, conversion through repentance. Those who abide in Christ will overcome with Him, facing spiritual trials...

First Sunday - Year D, Lent: Sacrifice for God; People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. The Gospel tells of Jesus being taken by demons into the desert; demons are called those who separate us from God. The desert reveals retreat, silence and prayer, and reveals trials (solitude, hunger, temptation...). Demons leave in vain when we depend on God and his word. The real treasure is God alone; let's abandon everything for God...

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.
