International Day of Human Fraternity …

Here we are, as sisters to weave ties of care and friendship

No tears nor smiles have colors

they are unique expressions of the human being that bring us closer to each other … they allow us to get in touch and make it possible for something new to happen … the ENCOUNTER …and from there, just a small step to dialogue, to love …

“Our love for others, for who they are, moves us to seek the best for their lives. Only by cultivating this way of relating to one another will we make possible a social friendship that excludes no one and a fraternity that is open to all.  (FT 94) ”.

God the Father of humanity… instill in our hearts a fraternal spirit

Inspire us with a dream of reunion, dialogue, justice and peace …, (FT287)

“With affability, making us all for all”. (Paris)

The Human society, particularly Christian society that has been founded on the dogma of the dignity of man and is based, therefore, on the respect that he owes to himself and that he owes to his siblings as brothers. (Claret, The Railroad Travelers)
