Thursday July 8, 2021 - Fourteenth week of Ordinary Time - The reign of God is very near. Convert and Believe in the Gospel - Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 10, 7-15

Dear Christians, the Gospel describes the message and character of missionary disciples.

The Kingdom of God is the essence of the mission: a kingdom of grace and life, a kingdom of justice and peace. But before preaching, you must first be convinced yourself; because the gospel is not "hearsay," the mission is not mercenary, but continues, "updating" the teachings and work of Jesus Himself.

Faith is not imposed, but given; it is up to whoever hears to decide whether to believe or not. We should not be discouraged even if we are rejected by some people because Jesus himself was rejected by men. May we burn with the faith and the zeal of the Apostles in order to have Jesus loved by all men. Amen.

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.
