The Church is the body of Christ; through baptism we are all one body in Christ, even though we are many. Baptism is a new birth for us: we are immersed in the life of Christ, we are incorporated into the Church and become participants in a special way in the sacrifice of Christ, who died and rose again... Catechesis on the Holy Spirit sanctifies the Church with P. Mamiarisoa Modeste Randrianifahanana.

April 12, 2025 — Saturday, Fifth Week of Lent — Cast away from you all the crimes you have committed, says the LORD, and make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit — Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John (Jn 11: 45-56)

Catechesis on the Holy Spirit sanctifies the Church with P. Mamiarisoa Modeste Randrianifahanana.
