Fratelli Tutti

On Fraternity and Social Friendship

By: Pope Francis

Narrated by: Father John Bosco Pereira, Joan Chee, Adrian Ho, Sister Wendy Ooi

Fratelli Tutti “all brothers and sisters” is the encouraging and life-giving encyclical of Pope Francis.

Against the backdrop of a catastrophic pandemic that has spared nothing and altered everything, this remarkable document is a cry from the heart of a pastor to all peoples to see beyond their differences and to grow together to build a new and peaceful world.

Pope Francis addresses his renewed call to universal fraternity to all people of good will, regardless of their religious convictions.

His message here is full of divine and human wisdom for every person. The encyclical articulates in eight chapters a call for everyone to recognize and live out our common fraternity.

Ever hopeful. Ever new.

The arms of Pope Francis embrace all without exception or reservation, despite the sins of our institutions and ourselves.

A perfect book

A wonderful book that I found to be developmental and maturative for a young man coming of age such as myself. I found this book to be relatable, worthwhile and generally well written and well read! I further highly recommend this book.

Prophetic Catechesis

Pope Francis is a many of few words, but when he speaks, he does so in a deliberate manner conveying his message concisely and simply. We need to urge this call for a return to fraternal civility towards our neighbor now more than any other message.

This encyclical may be the most impactful one I have read so far simply because of the prophetic nature of several topics. For example, the messages have proven extremely relevant in light of the war in Ukraine, Iran helping Russia develop war drones, the threat of nuclear war, refugees from Venezuela, Syria, and Ukraine, the withdrawal from Afghanistan, the conflict in Palestine, the massacres against the poor in Brazil, and the hostility in political elections across the globe, including Brazil, the US, Chile, Honduras, Germany, and France.

Great encyclical- eye opening

The readers changing by chapter was a little jarring but the text was brilliant and moving.

Good to read / hear it all.

Pope Francis is often quoted in sound bites which people then reject or applaud, often enough out of context and with subsequent misinterpretation. It was good for me to take the time hear every word of this encyclical in this recording.
