“Brotherhood is one of the fundamental and universal values ​​that should be the basis of relations between peoples, so that those who suffer or are disadvantaged do not feel excluded and forgotten, but welcomed, supported as part of the one human family”. The Pope reiterated this in the video message for the second Day for Human Fraternity.

“In recent years we have walked as brothers in the awareness that, respecting our respective cultures and traditions, we are called to build brotherhood as a barrier against hatred, violence and injustice”, Francis' statement, who thanks “everyone those who accompanied us on this path: His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed for his constant commitment in this direction, the High Committee for Human Fraternity for the various initiatives promoted in different parts of the world, and the General Assembly of United Nations because, with the resolution of 21 December 2020, it made it possible to celebrate today the Second International Day of Human Fraternity.

And gratitude extends to all the civil and religious institutions that support this noble cause." “We are brothers!”, the Pope's appeal, according to which “we all, in our sharing feelings of brotherhood for each other, must become promoters of a culture of peace, which encourages sustainable development, tolerance, inclusion, mutual understanding and solidarity". “We all live under the same sky, regardless of where and how we live, the color of our skin, our religion, our social class, our sex, our age, our health and economic conditions”, Francis points out: “ We are all different and yet all the same, and this pandemic period has shown us this. I repeat once again: we cannot save ourselves alone! We all live under the same sky, and in the name of God, we who are his creatures must recognize each other as brothers and sisters. As believers, belonging to different religious traditions, we have a role to play."
