Lately, I have been learning each day the power of this lesson. As a husband, a father, a catechist, and a parish leader I find myself almost always in a position of leadership. And in my efforts to live up to my vocation as leader, I have found that so easily I take all the responsibility upon my shoulders. I forget that as a Christian I am a follower. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. Even as a leader I am a follower.
A true leader can’t make his work about himself, for a leader is leading others towards something, or in our case, someone. A Christian leader is one who models his leadership on that of Christ. A Christian leader is himself led by the leader of leaders, Jesus Christ.
