God's will is that we should be holy. This holiness is what we call ‘the most fundamental and perfect calling’ to which God calls us all. Holiness is for everyone, without exception. In the Church, everyone, whether they are linked to government or whether they are male, is called to holiness... Catechesis on the universal vocation to holiness in the Church, with Fr Wagner Randriamampandry.

The universal vocation is a call to all, a call that does not discriminate against anyone in the Church. Holiness or perfection is the universal vocation or common vocation of the Church. It is a vocation reserved for a few and without discrimination, but destined for all levels of the Church... Catechesis on the universal vocation to holiness in the Church, with Fr Wagner Randriamampandry.

Those who have received the sacrament of Holy Orders have received a special grace as sanctifiers, teachers, shepherds and administrators, and are therefore set apart to make decisions as Christ's vicars. Shepherds must manage the flock entrusted to them with respect, love and wisdom, especially when they delegate responsibilities to the laity... Catechesis on the laity, structure, with Fr Aurelien Rarivoson.

Lay people must love and respect creation because it is through creation that God's power is manifested and through which He praises and honours the Creator. We respect the Creator when we respect his creation. Each individual has an inescapable duty to unite, to respect the culture purified by the Gospel, to respect values, to respect the dignity of the human person... Catechesis on the laity, structure, with Fr Aurelien Rarivoson.
