Raozy mystika, nataon'i Tianna (Mallett) Williams
IT no mololo farany. Rehefa mamaky ny antsipirian'ny andian-tsarimihetsika vaovao natomboka tao amin'ny Netflix izay manao firaisana amin'ny ankizy, nofoanana ny famandrihako. Eny, manana fanadihadiana fanadihadiana tsara izay tsy ho hitanay izy ireo… Saingy ampahany amin'ny Mivoaka an'i Babylona midika hoe mila misafidy izay ara-bakiteny tsy tafiditra amin'ny fandraisana anjara na fanohanana rafitra manapoizina ny kolontsaina. Araka ny voalaza ao amin'ny Salamo 1:
Happy indeed is the man who follows not the counsel of the wicked; nor lingers in the way of sinners, nor sits in the company of scorners, but whose delight is the law of the Lord and who ponders his law day and night. (Psalm 1:1)
Seventeen years ago, we also canceled our cable TV—and, honestly, have never looked back. All of a sudden our children started reading books, playing instruments, and developing talents we never knew they had. Today, I want to share with you some of those fruits. Because not only are we called to "mivoaka avy any Babylona", but we are to rebuild a new civilization of love upon its ruins: Ny fanoherana revolisiona.
With Christmas drawing near, these are also some gift ideas for building up the heart and soul…
I. CATHOLIC NOVEL
Our second daughter, Denise (Mallett) Pierlot, wrote a book called Ny hazo that has garnered some remarkable praise in the 
Catholic world. While I personally don’t have a lot of time for reading novels, I was absolutely mesmerized by the storytelling in The Tree. Few books have left me lingering with its images and characters two years after reading it! As Fr. Don Calloway said, “Mallett has penned a truly epic human and theological tale of adventure, love, intrigue, and the search for ultimate truth and meaning. If this book is ever made into a movie—and it should be—the world need only surrender to the truth of the everlasting message.”
Denise is now in the finishing stages of writing its sequel called Ny ra while she and her husband Nick (who is studying philosophy and theology) prepare for their first child (and our second grandchild). Raha mbola tsy namaky ianao Ny hazo yet, you can order it from ny fivarotako by clicking the book cover:
Ny fiantsoana an'i Denise Mallett mpanoratra manan-talenta mahatalanjona dia fanambaniana kely! Ny hazo mahaliana sy voasoratra am-pitoerana tsara tarehy. Manontany tena foana aho hoe: "Ahoana no ahafahan'ny olona manoratra zavatra toa izao?" Tsy miteny.

II. CATHOLIC ART
The new painting above of Raozy mystika is one of a series of saints that my eldest daughter Tianna has recently finished. Her stunning artwork, featured on this website several times, is now available on Tianna’s website:

III. CATHOLIC WITNESS
Our oldest son, Gregory, has just joined a missionary team in Canada called Minisitera vavolombelona madio. They are dedicating this next year to traveling to schools and parishes to share the Gospel through word, song, and drama. Our third daughter, Nicole, was recently with them for two years. It is a beautiful ministry, powerful witness, and “sign of contradiction” to young people in today’s Catholic schools. Gregory has to raise support for his missionary work. If you would like to make a tax-deductible contribution, go to PureWitness.com and simply choose Gregory’s name in the donation list:
Nomena antony hino isika fa, amin'ny faran'ny fotoana ary angamba haingana kokoa noho ny andrasantsika dia hanangana olona feno ny Fanahy Masina Andriamanitra ary hofenoina ny fanahin'i Maria. Amin'ny alalàn'izy ireo i Maria, Mpanjakavavy mahery indrindra, dia hanao fahagagana lehibe eto amin'izao tontolo izao, handrava ny ota ary hametraka ny fanjakan'i Jesosy Zanany ho eo ambonin'ny ROSIN'NY fanjakana maloto izay i Babylona lehibe eto an-tany. (Rev. 18:20) —St. Louis de Montfort, Fitsipika momba ny tena fanoloran-tena ho an'ny Virjiny Masina, n. 58-59
