Abstract
This article presents Francis of Assisi as an inspiring model of the universal fraternity proposed by the encyclical Fratelli tutti. The Pope asserts that “it was the evangelical witness of St. Francis, with his school of thought, that gave the term fraternity the meaning it then preserved over the centuries.” Universal fraternity requires the harmonious development of our four fundamental relationships, something which is evident in both Francis of Assisi (part 1) and the encyclical Fratelli tutti (part 2). Inspired by saint Francis, the Pope invites us to welcome all human beings as brothers and sisters and thus to dream together "as a single human family".
