Did you know that the Catholic Church has been ordaining DEAF AND MUTE PRIESTS?
Let me give you two examples:
The Reverend Father Christopher Klusman...
=AND=
And the Reverend Father Benedict Park Min-Seo...
These men have heeded to the CHALLENGE OF OUR BLESSED LORD...
DUC IN ALTUM! SET OUT INTO THE DEEP WATER!
They have answered the CALL TO BE THE MINISTERS OF HIS RECONCILING LOVE, so that HIS DIVINE MERCY may reach out not only to people who can be considered “normal” but also to those persons with special needs...
INDEED GOD’S FAR GREATER LOVE IS EVER BLESSING AND EVER BLESSED!
IT IS TRANSCENDENT!
May we be challenged as well to be GOD’S LIVING ICONS IN JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT...
JUST LIKE FATHERS CHRISTOPHER AND BENEDICT!
