International Day of Human Fraternity

Cardinal Ayuso: ‘We must work for a culture of peace and inclusion'

Looking ahead to the first International Day of Human Fraternity, the President of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue underscores the need for looking after those in need and expressed his hopes that the 2021 Zayed Award for Human Fraternity will be "a sign of fruitful collaboration between people of different faiths at the service of all humanity."

By Massimiliano Menichetti (Vatican Media)

On February 4th the International Day of Human Fraternity will be celebrated for the first time. The initiative promoted by the United Nations comes two years after the release in Abu Dhabi of the Document on Human Fraternity signed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmad Al-Tayyib. According to Cardinal Miguel Ángel Ayuso Guixot, President of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, this occasion must "rouse the desire to work for a culture of peace," because when the crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic ends, "we will be called to rebuild and increase outreach in favor of fraternity and solidarity." For the Cardinal, the guidance offered by the Encyclical Fratelli tutti is key, since the text encourages us to take on "responsibilities, both individual and collective, in the face of new trends and needs on the international scene."

Last year on December 21, the General Assembly of the United Nations, during its 75th plenary session, established that February 4 of each year be dedicated as an International Day of Human Fraternity. The UN statement reads that by adopting this resolution, the Assembly invites member states to celebrate this day “to promote interreligious and intercultural dialogue." The text of the resolution also expresses the hope that "a global response based on unity, solidarity and renewed multilateral cooperation" will be sought as the world faces the unprecedented crisis caused by the Coronavirus pandemic. With the awareness that on our own we cannot save ourselves, the resolution calls on making every effort so that interreligious and intercultural dialogue are promoted, as advocated in the Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together signed in 2019 in Abu Dhabi by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmad Al-Tayyib. It is precisely to commemorate the signing of the Document that the UN chose the date of February 4.

With the view of the good of all humanity, it is hoped that the February 4 occurrence will rouse the desire to work for a culture of peace that supports the efforts of all those - including the international community and followers of various religious traditions - who are committed to tolerance, inclusion, understanding and solidarity, especially during these times tragically marked by the pandemic. When this crisis ends, we will be called to rebuild and increase outreach in favor of fraternity, solidarity and peace. Coming out of this pandemic we will have to be reborn again, better than we were before. And not only at a personal level.

Q: Several times, echoing the Pope's words, he said that our lives, the lives of our communities, cannot be separated from the lives of others. We depend on one another. What role do religions play?

R: They play a key role. We all know that from the very beginning of his pontificate, Pope Francis has emphasized the importance of relations between followers of various religions, stressing the importance of friendship and respect. Believers of different religious traditions, walking together on the path of interreligious dialogue, can genuinely offer their contribution to universal fraternity in the societies in which they live. Indeed, believers are witnesses and bearers of values that can greatly contribute to building more just and healthy societies. Righteousness, fidelity, love for the common good, concern for others, especially those in need, benevolence and mercy are weapons that are part of the spiritual arsenals of the various religions. It is a matter of taking concrete steps together with believers of other religions and people of goodwill. The hope is that we will all feel called to be messengers of peace and builders of communion, and to proclaim that today is the moment for fraternity particularly in these times, as opposed to those who foster clashes, divisions and closure.

Q: Who does not recall the words of the Holy Father on the evening of March 27, 2020? “We have realized that we are on the same boat, all of us fragile and disoriented, but at the same time important and needed, all of us called to row together, each of us in need of comforting the other.” Pope Francis summed up with these words the sense of bewilderment that has plagued Christians and other believers since the pandemic began, but he also urged everyone to 'row together.'

R: God is the Creator of everything and everyone, so we are members of a single family and we must recognize ourselves as such. This is the fundamental criterion that faith offers us to move from mere tolerance to fraternal coexistence, to interpret the differences that exist among us, to defuse violence and to live as brothers and sisters.

Q: Last October Pope Francis published the encyclical dedicated to Fraternity and Social Friendship. How is this document signed in Assisi linked to the International Day we are about to celebrate?

R: The Encyclical Fratelli tutti is a concrete invitation to fraternity and social friendship that concerns every man and woman, believer or non-believer. Reading the Encyclical, we feel a call to responsibility, both individual and collective, in the face of new trends and demands on the international scene. As I said earlier, the International Day we are about to celebrate is the fruit of what is hoped for in the Document on Human Fraternity to which Pope Francis made ample reference in drafting the Encyclical. The direct link is evident between the latter and an international initiative, such as that of the United Nations, aimed at promoting a message of fraternity. Pope Francis exhorts us in Fratelli tutti to build a fraternal society that promotes education for dialogue to defeat the virus of “radical individualism” (no. 105) and to allow everyone to give the best of themselves while also emphasizing that the right to live with dignity cannot be denied to anyone. Since rights are without borders, no one can remain excluded, regardless of where he or she was born (see no. 121). And it is precisely human fraternity that will allow each person to make this dehumanized world, in which the culture of indifference and greed characterize relationships between human beings, capable of living a new and universal solidarity. It is genuinely good then that, at least once a year, we remember that we are all brothers and sisters!

Q: You are the Chairman of the Higher Committee for Human Fraternity that was established in August two years ago. In what areas are you working?

R: I would like to clarify that I am not currently the Chairman of the Higher Committee for Human Fraternity, which was established in August 2019, and charged with implementing the content of the Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together. In fact, it was decided at its founding that there would be a rotation between the Holy See and Al-Azhar. I had the honor of chairing the Committee the first year. Today the Higher Committee is composed of religious leaders, scholars, and cultural figures from around the globe with ties to the Christian, Jewish and Muslim world inspired by the Document and dedicated to promoting its ideals of peace and mutual respect. Various initiatives are being worked on in this direction and have been promoted. For the sake of brevity, I will mention two in particular. Related to the International Day of Human Fraternity, it was on December 4, 2019, that the members of the Committee met in New York with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Dr. António Guterres, to deliver a message to him from Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Ahmed Al-Tayyeb, in which it was proposed precisely that February 4 be declared the International Day of Human Fraternity. Another initiative promoted for the benefit of all humanity was that of a day of prayer, fasting and invocation to God the Creator be held to remember all those affected by the pandemic. Believers of all religions and people of goodwill were invited to join spiritually and it took place on May 14, 2020. 

Q: The 2021 Zayed Award for Human Fraternity will be presented on February 4th, an award inspired by the Document on Human Fraternity signed in Abu Dhabi by the Pope and the Grand Imam al-Tayeb. What is the significance of this award and is it being given for the first time?

R: The Zayed Award for Human Fraternity created in 2019 is a tribute to Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al Nahyan, founder of the United Arab Emirates. It was first awarded in an honorary way to Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmad al-Tayyeb for the signing in Abu Dhabi of the Document on Human Fraternity in 2019. Subsequently, the award was opened to nominations taken into consideration individuals or organizations deeply committed to initiatives that bring people together and promote peaceful coexistence. It is intended to be an initiative that strengthens human relations, promotes the building of bridges of dialogue and enhancing understanding and cooperation among nations. The hope is that the awarding of this prize may also be a sign of the fruitful collaboration between men and women of different religions in the service of all humanity.

An ad hoc jury was created to award this prize on February 4th of each year.

Founder’s Memorial (Abu Dhabi)
Monday, 4 February 2019

As-salam u alaykum! Peace be with you!

I give heartfelt thanks to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Doctor Ahmad Al-Tayyib, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, for their words. I am grateful to the Council of Elders for the meeting that we have just had at the Grand Mosque of Sheikh Zayed. 

I also cordially greet Mr. Abd Al-Fattah Al-Sisi, President of the Arab Republicof Egypt, land of Al-Azhar. I cordially greet the civil and religious authorities and the Diplomatic Corps. Allow me also to thank you sincerely for the warm welcome that you all have given to me and our delegation.

I also thank all those who have contributed to making this journey possible and who have worked with dedication, enthusiasm and professionalism towards this event: the organizers, those in the Protocol Office, the security personnel, and all who have made their contribution in various ways “behind the scenes”. A special word of thanks also to Mr Mohamed Abdel Salam, former Adviser to the Grand Imam. 

From your country, my thoughts turn to all the countries of this peninsula. To them I address my most cordial greetings, with friendship and esteem.

With a heart grateful to the Lord, in this eighth centenary of the meeting between Saint Francis of Assisi and Sultan al-Malik al K?mil, I have welcomed the opportunity to come here as a believer thirsting for peace, as a brother seeking peace with the brethren. We are here to desire peace, to promote peace, to be instruments of peace.

The logo of this journey depicts a dove with an olive branch. It is an image that recalls the story – present in different religious traditions – of the primordial flood. According to the biblical account, in order to preserve humanity from destruction, God asked Noah to enter the ark along with his family. Today, we too in the name of God, in order to safeguard peace, need to enter together as one family into an ark which can sail the stormy seas of the world: the ark of fraternity.

The point of departure is the recognition that God is at the origin of the one human family. He who is the Creator of all things and of all persons wants us to live as brothers and sisters, dwelling in the common home of creation which he has given us. Fraternity is established here at the roots of our common humanity, as “a vocation contained in God’s plan of creation”.[1] This tells us that all persons have equal dignity and that no one can be a master or slave of others.

We cannot honour the Creator without cherishing the sacredness of every person and of every human life: each person is equally precious in the eyes of God, who does not look upon the human family with a preferential gaze that excludes, but with a benevolent gaze that includes. Thus, to recognize the same rights for every human being is to glorify the name of God on earth. In the name of God the Creator, therefore, every form of violence must be condemned without hesitation, because we gravely profane God’s name when we use it to justify hatred and violence against a brother or sister. No violence can be justified in the name of religion.

The enemy of fraternity is an individualism which translates into the desire to affirm oneself and one’s own group above others. This danger threatens all aspects of life, even the highest innate prerogative of man, that is, the openness to the transcendent and to religious piety. True religious piety consists in loving God with all one’s heart and one’s neighbour as oneself. Religious behaviour, therefore, needs continually to be purified from the recurrent temptation to judge others as enemies and adversaries. Each belief system is called to overcome the divide between friends and enemies, in order to take up the perspective of heaven, which embraces persons without privilege or discrimination. 

I wish to express appreciation for the commitment of this nation to tolerating and guaranteeing freedom of worship, to confronting extremism and hatred. Even as the fundamental freedom to profess one’s own beliefs is promoted – this freedom being an intrinsic requirement for a human being’s self-realization – we need to be vigilant lest religion be instrumentalized and deny itself by allowing violence and terrorism.

Fraternity certainly “also embraces variety and differences between brothers and sisters, even though they are linked by birth and are of the same nature and dignity”.[2] Religious plurality is an expression of this; in such a context the right attitude is neither a forced uniformity nor a conciliatory syncretism. What we are called to do as believers is to commit ourselves to the equal dignity of all, in the name of the Merciful One who created us and in whose name the reconciliation of conflicts and fraternity in diversity must be sought. Here I want to reaffirm the conviction of the Catholic Church: “We cannot truly call on God, the Father of all, if we refuse to treat in a brotherly way any man, created as he is in the image of God”.[3]

Various questions, however, confront us: how do we look after each other in the one human family? How do we nourish a fraternity which is not theoretical but translates into authentic fraternity? How can the inclusion of the other prevail over exclusion in the name of belonging to one’s own group? How, in short, can religions be channels of fraternity rather than barriers of separation?

The human family and the courage of otherness 

If we believe in the existence of the human family, it follows that it must, as such, be looked after. As in every family, this happens above all through a daily and effective dialogue. This presupposes having one’s own identity, not to be foregone to please the other person. But at the same time it demands the courage of otherness,[4] which involves the full recognition of the other and his or her freedom, and the consequent commitment to exert myself so that the other person’s fundamental rights are always affirmed, everywhere and by everyone. Without freedom we are no longer children of the human family, but slaves. As part of such freedom, I would like to emphasize religious freedom. It is not limited only to freedom of worship but sees in the other truly a brother or sister, a child of my own humanity whom God leaves free and whom, therefore, no human institution can coerce, not even in God’s name. 

Dialogue and Prayer

The courage of otherness is the heart of dialogue, which is based on sincerity of intentions. Dialogue is indeed compromised by pretence, which increases distance and suspicion: we cannot proclaim fraternity and then act in the opposite way. According to a modern author, “The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others”.[5]

In all this, prayer is essential: while sincerely intended prayer incarnates the courage of otherness in regard to God, it also purifies the heart from turning in on itself. Prayer of the heart restores fraternity. Consequently, “as for the future of interreligious dialogue, the first thing we have to do is pray, and pray for one another: we are brothers and sisters! Without the Lord, nothing is possible; with him, everything becomes so! May our prayer – each one according to his or her own tradition – adhere fully to the will of God, who wants all men and women to recognize they are brothers and sisters and live as such, forming the great human family in the harmony of diversity”.[6]

There is no alternative: we will either build the future together or there will not be a future. Religions, in particular, cannot renounce the urgent task of building bridges between peoples and cultures. The time has come when religions should more actively exert themselves, with courage and audacity, and without pretence, to help the human family deepen the capacity for reconciliation, the vision of hope and the concrete paths of peace.

Education and Justice

Let us return, then, to the initial image of the dove of peace. Peace, in order to fly, needs wings that uphold it: the wings of education and justice.

Education– in Latin it means “extracting, drawing out” – is to bring to light the precious resources of the soul. It is comforting to note how in this country investments are being made not only in the extraction of the earth’s resources, but also in those of the heart, in the education of young people. It is a commitment that I hope will continue and spread elsewhere. Education also happens in a relationship, in reciprocity. Alongside the famous ancient maxim “know yourself”, we must uphold “know your brother or sister”: their history, their culture and their faith, because there is no genuine self-knowledge without the other. As human beings, and even more so as brothers and sisters, let us remind each other that nothing of what is human can remain foreign to us.[7] It is important for the future to form open identities capable of overcoming the temptation to turn in on oneself and become rigid.

Investing in culture encourages a decrease of hatred and a growth of civility and prosperity. Education and violence are inversely proportional. Catholic schools – well appreciated in this country and in the region – promote such education on behalf of peace and reciprocal knowledge in order to prevent violence.

Young people, who are often surrounded by negative messages and fake news, need to learn not to surrender to the seductions of materialism, hatred and prejudice. They need to learn to object to injustice and also to the painful experiences of the past. They need to learn to defend the rights of others with the same energy with which they defend their own rights. One day, they will be the ones to judge us. They will judge us well, if we have given them a solid foundation for creating new encounters of civility. They will judge us poorly, if we have left them only mirages and the empty prospect of harmful conflicts of incivility.

Justice is the second wing of peace, which often is not compromised by single episodes, but is slowly eaten away by the cancer of injustice.

No one, therefore, can believe in God and not seek to live in justice with everyone, according to the Golden Rule: “So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for this is the law and the prophets” (Mt 7:12).

Peace and justice are inseparable! The prophet Isaiah says: “And the effect of righteousness will be peace” (32:17). Peace dies when it is divorced from justice, but justice is false if it is not universal. A justice addressed only to family members, compatriots, believers of the same faith is a limping justice; it is a disguised injustice!

The world’s religions also have the task of reminding us that greed for profit renders the heart lifeless and that the laws of the current market, demanding everything immediately, do not benefit encounter, dialogue, family – essential dimensions of life that need time and patience. Religions should be the voice of the least, who are not statistics but brothers and sisters, and should stand on the side of the poor. They should keep watch as sentinels of fraternity in the night of conflict. They should be vigilant warnings to humanity not to close our eyes in the face of injustice and never to resign ourselves to the many tragedies in the world.

The desert that flourishes

Having spoken of fraternity as an ark of peace, I now want to take inspiration from a second image, that of the desert which surrounds us.

Here, in just a few years, with farsightedness and wisdom, the desert has been transformed into a prosperous and hospitable place. From being an unapproachable and inaccessible obstacle, the desert has become a meeting place between cultures and religions. Here the desert has flourished, not just for a few days in the year, but for many years to come. This country, in which sand and skyscrapers meet, continues to be an important crossroads between the West and East, between the North and South of the planet: a place of development, where once inhospitable spaces supply jobs for people of various nations.

Nonetheless, development, too, has its adversaries. If the enemy of fraternity is the individualism referred to above, I want to point to indifference as an obstacle to development, an indifference which ends up converting flourishing realities into desert lands. In fact, a purely utilitarian development cannot provide real and lasting progress. Only an integral and cohesive development provides a future worthy of the human person. Indifference prevents us from seeing the human community beyond its earnings and our brothers and sisters beyond the work they do. Indifference, in fact, does not look to the future; it does not care about the future of creation, it does not care about the dignity of the stranger and the future of children.

In this context I am delighted that here in Abu Dhabi last November the first Forum of the Interreligious Alliance for Safer Communities took place, whose theme was child dignity in the digital world. This event recalled a message issued a year before in Rome during an international congress on the same theme, a congress to which I had given my complete support and encouragement. I thank, therefore, all the leaders who are engaged in this field, and I assure them of my support, solidarity and participation and that of the Catholic Church, in this very important cause of the protection of minors in all its forms.

Here, in the desert, a way of fruitful development has been opened which, beginning from the creation of jobs, offers hope to many persons from a variety of nations, cultures and beliefs. Among them, many Christians too, whose presence in the region dates back centuries, have found opportunities and made a significant contribution to the growth and well-being of the country. In addition to professional skills, they bring you the genuineness of their faith. The respect and tolerance they encounter, as well as the necessary places of worship where they pray, allow them a spiritual maturity which then benefits society as a whole. I encourage you to continue on this path, so that those who either live here or are passing through may preserve not only the image of the great works erected in the desert, but also the image of a nation that includes and embraces all.

It is with this spirit that I look forward to concrete opportunities for meeting, not only here but in the entire beloved region, a focal point of the Middle East. I look forward to societies where people of different beliefs have the same right of citizenship and where only in the case of violence in any of its forms is that right removed.

A fraternal living together, founded on education and justice; a human development built upon a welcoming inclusion and on the rights of all: these are the seeds of peace which the world’s religions are called to help flourish. For them, perhaps as never before, in this delicate historical situation, it is a task that can no longer be postponed: to contribute actively to demilitarizing the human heart. The arms race, the extension of its zones of influence, the aggressive policies to the detriment of others will never bring stability. War cannot create anything but misery, weapons bring nothing but death!

Human fraternity requires of us, as representatives of the world’s religions, the duty to reject every nuance of approval from the word “war”. Let us return it to its miserable crudeness. Its fateful consequences are before our eyes. I am thinking in particular of Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Libya. Together, as brothers and sisters in the one human family willed by God, let us commit ourselves against the logic of armed power, against the monetization of relations, the arming of borders, the raising of walls, the gagging of the poor; let us oppose all this with the sweet power of prayer and daily commitment to dialogue. Our being together today is a message of trust, an encouragement to all people of good will, so that they may not surrender to the floods of violence and the desertification of altruism. God is with those who seek peace. From heaven he blesses every step which, on this path, is accomplished on earth.
