Today's scripture paints a powerful picture of leadership, unlike anything the world offers. It's not about titles, authority, or personal gain. It's about a radical shift in perspective—from seeking to be served to serving with love and truth. We, as families, are the foundation of society. It's within our homes that the seeds of leadership are first sown. We are the architects who shape the character and values of the next generation, but imagine if our leadership wasn't about controlling or dictating but about empowering and inspiring?

Imagine a spring overflowing with crystal-clear water, its purity reflecting the light of the sun. This is the heart God desires for us—a heart cleansed from the darkness within, not just by outward rituals. Today's readings remind us that true defilement comes from our thoughts, words, and intentions, not from what we eat or wear.

Today, we celebrate the life of a man who, like Jesus in Nazareth, dared to walk among the marginalized and forgotten. We remember St. John Bosco, the priest who saw not just the mud on the boots of street kids but the potential for grace and greatness within them.
