A moment to dream: Pope Francis’ pathway to a better future
April 18, 2021 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
An Invitation to parishes, local congregations and others interested to an Ecumenical Webinar to explore Fratelli Tutti’s vision of a world at peace.
When Pope Francis speaks, as he did with “Laudato Si”, he often reaches out beyond the body of the Catholic Church to many others. Similarly, Fratelli Tutti, issued last year, is a groundbreaking vision urging us to “a Culture of Encounter”, and transcend the range of barriers to genuine peace that are growing in our time. Fratelli Tutti, or “Brothers All”, was St. Francis of Assisi’s way of addressing his fellow friars in the 13th century. Today he may well have said “Beloved All”.
Pope Francis challenges us all radically to think not as isolated nations or groups, but as interconnected in the ‘one human family’. We need to exercise our shared humanity, irrespective of origin, nationality, ethnicity and religion; to build bridges, not walls. Dialogue is a necessity, not an option. We must seek ways of working
with people of other faiths and goodwill for peace and reconciliation in the world, as individuals and as part of larger groupings, and society.
