Pope kissing the feet of African Leaders by Fr. Nelson Lobo OFM Cap

 Wondering Guru

The video of our beloved Pope kissing the feet of African leaders has gone viral. If only all the world leaders had invested in little bit of humility for the sake of peace in this world, this world would have been a beautiful place to live in.  But then if they invest in humility and peace they will have to close down all arms & ammunition factories.  That would mean gigantic loss of billions of dollars. 

Well! who does not want money? Who wants to pull the shutters down on a shop that consistently generates income and sustains political campaigns and hi-fi life style of world leadership? Many international and intra-national problems are solved by acts of humility and peace rather than by war of words. 

Hate speech generates hate speech.  Too much of it becomes a disease. It infects the speaker, his family and friends. This can ultimately lead to civil war or a full fledged military action. The world has no  need of "I don't care attitude' leadership. The world today is in great need of compassionate leadership.  Leaders who can feel the pain of innocent suffering and dying. Realizing this truth Jesus the greatest compassionate leader washes the feet of his disciples and sets the world an example in compassionate leadership founded on humility. 13 April 2019
