Wisdom from Zambia: Respect for the people

A real democracy has to be built on the basis of justice and moral values and has to look to the common good. And this common good ultimately demands a correct understanding of the dignity and rights of a person. . . . A just society can exist only when it respects the dignity of the human person.

. . . Above all, we should realise that we have the moral responsibility to vote for candidates who follow the example of Jesus, who came not to be served but to serve and who emptied Himself for the good of everyone. We are reminded in John 13:14: “I, your Lord and Teacher, have just washed your feet. You, then, should wash one another’s feet.” We need saintly politicians who profoundly love their own people and wish to serve rather than to be served. Post Zambia
