Saturday January 15, 2022 - First week of ordinary time - The Lord sent me to bring the Good News to the poor, to announce their release to the captives - Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 2, 13-17

We find here two characters. On the one hand, Jesus who did not take into account the reproaches and sly remarks addressed to him for having entered a sinner's house and having sat down with him. This is, moreover, the very objective of his mission on earth: "Calling sinners". On the other hand, Levi who makes us aware of the ugliness of sin and dares to receive God in order to turn away from it. None of us can declare ourselves pure and innocent before God, so we must welcome the only doctor who can cure us of our ills: Christ who came not for the righteous, but for sinners.

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.
