Brotherly Love is the idea that all of us are brothers under the Fatherhood of the Great Architect of the Universe. Great Architect of the Universe is the name we use to refer to whatever Divine principle is applicable to the personal faith of a man. How he chooses to practice his faith is entirely up to him. We do not discuss either religion or politics within a Masonic Lodge.
Relief is the flower that stems from the root of Brotherly Love.
Since we are all brothers, it is our obligation to provide relief for the distress of another brother. This relief may take the form of monetary assistance, but more often it is exemplified in other ways. If a brother is in need, we will extend to him the hand of friendship and Brotherly Love. We will assist him in his endeavors, lending support where needed, and offering good counsel when necessary. Truth is a two-fold idea.
