Nella crisi una opportunità: ricostrire a partire da "noi"

Starting from a reflection on the fact that individuals are alone, becoming mere consumers or bystanders in globalized world that makes us neighbours but does not make us brothers, this paper offers a reading of Fratelli tutti focused on how to break free from the dark clouds over a closed world (chapter One) towards envisaging and engendering an open world (Chapter Three). The transition occurs in meetings “a stranger on the road”, meeting that awakens our humanity and opens wide the horizon of our action, in the perspective of the common good. Thus, fraternity is both a gift and a duty: while fully reaffirming one’s own identity, one can say “we” in total freedom and convincement.
