Description

In a divided world, fraternity is ever more necessary. Anne and Nicole delve deep into Pope Francis' encyclical, Fratelli Tutti - a document for our times, as they examine the roots of divisiveness in society. Anne shares the familiar parable of the Good Samaritan and comes away with new insights into what the "stranger on the road" means to us all. We realise that the key to authentic social dialogue goes beyond the pseudo-connectedness made possible via online means and a passive approach to charity. The heart of fraternity lies in encounter with our fellow brothers and sisters, whose human dignity prefaces any form of division. To see Christ in our neighbour challenges us all to move from fear and isolation to social friendship, where we move beyond ourselves to be of service to others - fellow brothers and sisters all (in the words of St Francis).
