Group 1: A Call to Social Friendship in a Time of Isolation

Do you agree with Pope Francis’ assessment of our global situation? C. Going Deeper What do you have to do to learn more? What do you have to do to get involved? D. Reflection (with personal narrative of Hope) E. Conclusion - summarize the main points of your discovery in terms of insights and realizations Student 2 A. Introduction – overview B. Discussion/Explanation Where have you seen “dark clouds” in your communities? What does a call to “social friendship” mean to you? C. Going Deeper What do you have to do to learn more? What do you have to do to get involved? D. Reflection (with personal narrative of Hope) E. Conclusion - summarize the main points of your discovery in terms of insights and realizations Student 3 A. Introduction – overview B. Discussion/Explanation Fratelli Tutti takes its inspiration from St. Francis of Assisi who, as Pope Francis reminds us, “did not wage a war of words aimed at imposing doctrines; he simply spread the love of God” (no. 4). What does this call to spread God’s love look like in today’s society and our community? How does the example of St. Francis change the way we understand the work for justice and peace in our communities? C. Going Deeper What do you have to do to learn more? What do you have to do to get involved? D. Reflection (with personal narrative of Hope) E. Conclusion - summarize the main points of your discovery in terms of insights and realizations Student 4 A. Introduction – overview B. Discussion/Explanation A renewed social friendship must be rooted in an authentic encounter that resists the temptation to “build a culture of walls, to raise walls, walls in the heart, walls on the land” (no. 27). How have you built walls that have prevented an authentic encounter with the “other”? What can we do to create communities of welcome that encourage encounters with our neighbors? C. Going Deeper What do you have to do to learn more? What do you have to do to get involved? D. Reflection (with personal narrative of Hope) E. Conclusion - summarize the main points of your discovery in terms of insights and realizations Student 5 A. Introduction – overview B. Discussion/Explanation Pope Francis highlights the lack of shared historical memory that has fostered our present situation of individualism and inequality, writing, “Goodness, together with love, justice and solidarity, are not achieved once and for all; they have to be realized each day” (no. 11). What examples of injustice do you see repeating themselves in our society today? How can we foster a solidarity that continually seeks justice in our communities? C. Going Deeper What do you have to do to learn more? What do you have to do to get involved? D. Reflection (with personal narrative of Hope) E. Conclusion - summarize the main points of your discovery in terms of insights and realizations Student 6 A. Introduction – overview B. Discussion/Explanation Pope Francis makes special note of the rising extremist perspectives and polarization at work in both our Church and global community. In particular, our reliance on digital forms of encounter has given “free reign to ideologies” (no. 45) that allow fear to overtake our call to love and “to disguise and expand the very individualism that finds expression in xenophobia and in contempt for the vulnerable” (no. 43). How do you see this polarization at work in our communities? How can we respond to polarization in a way that prioritizes dialogue and justice? C. Going Deeper What do you have to do to learn more? What do you have to do to get involved? D. Reflection (with personal narrative of Hope) E. Conclusion - summarize the main points of your discovery in terms of insights and realizations. |

Student 2
A. Introduction – overview
B. Discussion/Explanation
Pope Francis reminds us that the teaching Jesus shares is not new. The call to love God and neighbor is present throughout the Old Testament, as well as the New Testament. The parable of the Good Samaritan invites us to extend the command to love one another to all people, including those we may view as a “foreigner” (nos. 61-62).
Who are the “foreigners” in your community?
How can you love those who may be seen as “the other”?
Have you ever felt the sting of being excluded?

Student 3
A. Introduction – overview
B. Discussion/Explanation
“Belief in God and the worship of God are not enough to ensure that we are actually living in a way pleasing to God. A believer may be untrue to everything that his faith demands of him, and yet think he is close to God and better than others” (no. 74). In reflecting on the Good Samaritan, we are confronted with the indifference of both the Priest and the Levite, two people who are both “devoted to the worship of God.” This detail is not something that we can ignore. Pope Francis tells us they serve as a warning that faithful worship of God is not complete without putting that faith into action.
How have you taken intentional efforts to put your faith into action?
How can you or your faith community support this call to love our neighbors?
C. Going Deeper

E. Conclusion - summarize the main points of your discovery in terms of insights and realizations
Student 4
A. Introduction – overview
B. Discussion/Explanation
In his call to emulate the Good Samaritan, Pope Francis calls us to active participation in our communities. We must take up a “co-responsibility” in creating communities built upon solidarity and social friendship: “Today we have a great opportunity to express our innate sense of fraternity, to be Good Samaritans who bear the pain of other people’s troubles rather than fomenting greater hatred and resentment” (no. 77). We all have a role to play in transforming our communities.
What gifts, talents, or circles of influence do you have that can help you make a difference? How can you enter into the suffering of our most marginalized brothers and sisters, especially those who we are not physically close to?
C. Going Deeper

Student 5
A. Introduction – overview
B. Discussion/Explanation
In the final words of the parable, Jesus invites us each to “Go and do likewise” (Lk 10:37). As Pope Francis observes, “he challenges us to put aside all differences and, in the face of suffering, to draw near to others with no questions asked” (no. 81).
What prevents you from encountering and upholding the dignity of “the other” in your community?
What differences or previously held beliefs do you need to put aside to truly become a neighbor to our brothers and sisters?

D. Reflection (with personal narrative of Hope)
E. Conclusion - summarize the main points of your discovery in terms of insights and realizations
Student 2
A. Introduction – overview
B. Discussion/Explanation
Pope Francis invites us to foster a heart open to the whole world that allows us to see that our well-being is tied up to that of our neighbors near and far, that “to attain fulfillment in life we need others” (no. 150). These two chapters begin and end the same: with a reminder that at the heart of the Christian life is the call to be in relationship with the other.

Student 3
A. Introduction – overview
B. Discussion/Explanation
Pope Francis invites us to return to the story of the Good Samaritan and reflect on the role social standing played in each character’s decision about whether or not to help the injured man. The Samaritan was “free of every label and position . . . [and] was able to interrupt his journey, change his plans, and unexpectedly” act as a neighbor to someone in need (no. 101).

Student 5
A. Introduction – overview
B. Discussion/Explanation
Central to the cultivation of global solidarity is the need to care for our common home. Pope Francis speaks of a “universal consciousness” that creates a mutual concern for the well-being of the earth and those most impacted by injustices occurring within it (no. 117). The global climate crisis is one of many social ills that demands all of us be in solidarity with our most vulnerable brothers and sisters.

What about in our global society?
What actions can you take to begin to cultivate solidarity and alleviate the suffering of those most impacted by those injustices?
