Three main themes animated the laity during the celebration of the Lay Days of Madagascar from 23 to 25 September 2022. During the catechesis, Bishop Jean de Dieu Raoelison exhorted the laity that they play an important role in being witnesses of the Truth in society. Here is the catechesis on these three themes by Mgr Jean de Dieu Raoelison, Bishop of Ambatondrazaka, President of the Episcopal Commission for the Lay Apostolate.

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.
