In this insightful homily for the Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Deacon Wes Turton reflects on the importance of integrity, humility, and spiritual growth in the Christian life. Drawing on his personal experience as an apprentice electrician, he illustrates how discipleship mirrors apprenticeship—learning through attentive listening, thoughtful speech, and consistent action. With references to the Gospel parable about the blind leading the blind, Deacon Wes urges us to be mindful of our spiritual vision, allowing Christ to form us into true teachers of the faith. Through vivid examples and everyday wisdom, he encourages each of us to become more like our Master, Jesus, by journeying with open ears, open eyes, and a heart ready to bear good fruit.
