**The Pope urged the blind and deaf who had gathered to meet with him, “let yourselves encounter Jesus.” He said only Jesus “truly knows the heart of man, only he can free us from shutting down and from fruitless pessimism and open us to life and to hope.”**

Amen!

"The young man from Germany added that the excitement of today’s meeting was marred only by a lack of translators using sign language in various languages: only Italian sign language was used."

Now, let us guess that the Pope's reaction to this man's observation might be to appeal to other Christians, out of their love for Christ, to volunteer to become translators, thereby serving both the cause of glorifying Christ and serving their fellow human beings.

On the other hand, might we not also guess that so-called "progressives" and the current American President would use the "crisis" of a lack of translators to "redistribute" the earnings of hard-working citizens to pay for another impersonal government program in order to "glorify" politicians and buy votes of blind persons?

Let’s see the Left try to twist this to their ends. Good luck with that, turkies!
