## Resource

This is a reflection on a Gospel passage from Matthew in which Jesus heals a mute man and calls for more laborers for the harvest. The homily interprets spiritual muteness as a barrier to confession and personal growth, emphasizing that the devil often discourages people from seeking spiritual guidance. The narrative highlights how Jesus felt compassion for the crowds, viewing them as defenseless sheep lacking a shepherd to guide them toward truth. Drawing on personal experience, the author credits his religious formation to a mentor who helped him navigate complex doctrinal challenges in his youth. Ultimately, this serves as a call to action for listeners to stop being spectators and become active participants in sharing their faith. By engaging in the Lord’s work, individuals can protect others from being misled and help provide the guidance and support needed for a meaningful life.
