This Lenten season, as we reflect on the life, suffering, and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we are reminded of ๐๐ถ๐ ๐ฒ๐

He washed the feet of His disciples, healed the sick, fed the hungry, and forgave sinners. He led by example, putting others before Himself, even unto death.

When choosing our leaders, we must look beyond promises and charisma. We should ask: Does this person lead with humility? Do they serve the poor and marginalized? Are they honest and just?
True servant leadership, like that of Jesus, puts the good of others first. This Lent, may our prayers and reflections guide us to vote wisely, choosing leaders who will not only govern but serve with integrity, mercy, and love.
