Sunday MassThe homily uses the priest's personal experience of growing up with a deaf mother to illustrate how people are often blind to the true nature of others, focusing on physical or perceived 'disabilities' rather than deeper qualities like kindness. It challenges listeners to recognize their own blindness in stereotyping and judging, urging them to see beyond superficial appearances and embrace a broader, more compassionate perspective.
