Pope Benedict XVI
Verbum Domini §71
G) Particular Concern for the Visually and Hearing Impaired
g) Particular concern for the visually and hearing impaired
71. Here I wish also to recall the Synod’s recommendation that special attention be given to those who encounter problems in participating actively in the liturgy; I think, for example, of the visually and hearing impaired. I encourage our Christian communities to offer every possible practical assistance to our brothers and sisters suffering from such impairments, so that they too can be able to experience a living contact with the word of the Lord.[247]
