Fr. Jagdfeld talks about dealing with post polio syndrome, deafness as a result of Meniere's disease, arthritis and other conditions through prayer and spirituality in this video. He also speaks about the changes in his life and perspective. He shares how learning to sign led to his ability to listen to confessions for deaf parishioners and how he has become a "popular confessor" now.

CUSA Administrator, Fr. Lawrence Jagdfeld, O.F.M., shares his experience of what it is like to acquire a disability and how he learned to cope.

I thought I left a comment here. Perhaps Blogger ate it. This vid was wonderful. Fr. is a candid speaker who can help educate and model for the abled masses the fact that people with disabilities live, not merely exist to be pitied.
Enjoy the holiday, Wheelie!
Thanks, FT. (I think Blogger did eat your comment, sorry about that.) Have a good weekend.
