First Sunday of Lent: God wants to be with us; Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. We are entering the 40-day season of Lent, which began on Ash Wednesday. We need to take steps towards peace with God: make an effort to rid ourselves of bad habits, do penance and good deeds, abstain from food and control ourselves. God takes the first step towards reconciliation with us humans: God has made a covenant of peace with humans and with the next generation, just as is said in the story of the flood.

For a genuine and authentic transformation

“Let your love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good” (Romans 12:9). Message from the Episcopal Conference of Madagascar to the Catholic faithful, to the leaders and officials of the nation, to young Malagasy people without distinction, to all our compatriots, and to all people of good will.

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.
