A ploughman takes pride in his work and speaks only of his work. Carpenters and builders work hard at their jobs, sculptors look for ways to improve and change their images. Blacksmiths endure the heat, fumes and noise of hammering iron. Catechesis on the Church, the family and development, in collaboration with Fr Bertrand Ratovoalinirina.

People must work because they are motivated by their needs and those of their families, because those who are diligent will get what they need. The work must be done well. There is no such thing as a silly job, if it's done well. Every kind of work is shown and lived by preparing it and doing it well, because it serves to show that everyone loves their work. Catechesis on the Church, the family and development, in collaboration with Fr Bertrand Ratovoalinirina.

God doesn't want human beings to be unhappy, and since God created the world, He has placed them in a place sufficient for them to be happy, and given them the duty to arrange and protect it. It's true that human work is a continuation of the work of creation, showing its glory and dignity and equating it with God. Catechesis on the Church, the family and development, in collaboration with P. Bertrand Ratovoalinirina.

A child who has had enough and shows a human nature makes people forget the lower class of their parents; and restore the dignity of self and family. When people develop in all aspects of life, they open up to others and feel responsible for others, so the selfish attitude can disappear. Catechesis on the Church, the family and development, in collaboration with P. Bertrand Ratovoalinirina.
