Here are some resources for Homilies:
I compiled these resources below because the internet is a wonderful source
for obtaining some Homilies, especially if you don't have
access to it at the Mass if there is no Captioning, Sign Language
or Audio Loops (depending on which one works for you).
Note: It is just not the same as an authentic homily experienced in the same moment in time with captioning, reflecting on it together with the congregation with the same spiritual unity. I've rarely encountered a written homily that follows word to word what the actual speech/sermon presents, but rather it is usually used as a guideline for presentation or notes. It's much more connecting getting the Homily presented in an authentic way with verbatim captioning in the same time and space during the Mass then just getting a written homily guideline. Many priests don't follow the written homily. Some priests even wing it and do not use a written homily. Some priests do a little bit of both. I've even encountered priests ready to give a homily based on their written guide in front of them, and then decide at the moment to wing it entirely! The Holy Spirit guides the Homily I should say and authenticity springs forth during the Liturgy of the Word! Captioning connects you to the message, makes you feel included and part of the Mass celebration with the congregation and is powerfully connecting to the message and the speaker presenting it.
The CART (captioning) writer often writes things like (laugher) to make you feel connected in witnessing the Homily together with the congregation. The priest is an effective witness when you can be a part of it.
Captioning connects you to the message and allows you to fully and actively participate, especially in listening, connecting and engaging to the message that you are 'hearing' in that moment with the congregation during Mass.
"The homily is a Personal word. "Before anything else...the Sunday homily is the word of a person of faith, the word of a person who has experienced the Lord and who wishes to share that experience." (page53). Paul VI said that our modern world thirsts for authenticity and a homily that is personal will communicate verbally and non-verbally the preacher’s authentic love of God and pastoral love for the assembly."
It is so nice to get the message both verbally (via CART; aka real time captioning) and glancing at the priest (nonverbally) during the process to connect to a truly authentic message in real time.
None the less, to make the most of the situation of any lack of access you may have, here is a compiled list of Homilies:

What do the deaf and hard of hearing use for Communication Access?:
ASL (American Sign Language) is used by the Culturally Deaf in the USA, CART (real time captioning) or its newer tech version called Remote CART is used by the late deaf, oral deaf and severe to profound hearing loss, ALD's (Assistive Listening Devices) are used by the hard of hearing (mild and moderate hearing loss). Captioning (CART) can sometimes be used by the culturally Deaf but you need to ask them first. The Hard of Hearing (mild and moderate) can also use captioning but they usually prefer Audio Loops. Again, you need to ask them first. Yes, I know I keep saying this through out my blog. We are diverse you see. We need to break the sound barriers for everyone so they can fully and actively participate and share the Joy of the Gospel to all.

Catholic Mass for the deaf and hard of hearing:
"For the Deaf or Hard of Hearing:
Arrange for seating the Deaf community in the
front, near the
speaker.
Arrange for interpreter or real time captioning
services at
least
two weeks in advance.
Utilize room amplification system or personal
amplification
system.
Provide all materials to the interpreter or CART
reporter one
week in advance.
Provide bright lighting. Avoid creating a special
atmosphere
with dim lighting."

"Accessible meeting space allowseveryone to participate."
__________________________________________"Of all the barriers to full participation and inclusion, the barrier of unexamined attitudes is the most difficult to address," states Ginny Thornburgh, director of the American Association of People with Disabilities' Interfaith Initiative."(Source: http://www.disabilitiesandfaith.org)__________________________________________________________The purpose of this blog is to raise Diversity Awareness among those with hearing loss and deafness, and to raise awareness that many with hearing loss are being excluded from full participation at the Mass if the church does not have Captioning. Catholics with hearing loss deserve the fullness of their faith. Does your Diocese/Archdiocese have at least one Mass service in Captioning at a church that one who benefits from it can reasonably travel to in order to fully and actively participate at the Mass? Contact your Diocese/Archdiocese - find it here: http://www.usccb.org/about/bishops-and-dioceses/all-dioceses.cfm.)US Bishop Statement:
'It is essential that all forms of the liturgy be completely accessible to people with disabilities, since these forms are the essence of the spiritual tie that binds the Christian community together'
(Source: http://www.disabilityawarenesstraining.com/component/content/article/3/40)_________________________________________________________________
Is your church or Diocese/Archdiocese inclusive to all those with hearing loss and deafness by providing Real time Captioning, Sign Language and Audio Loops? If not - Diversity and Inclusion Awareness is needed in order to share the joy of the gospel by applying Universal Communication Access. It is very important to share the Word of God with everyone. Let's pray for that!Prayer of Inclusion: http://www.ncpd.org/ministries-programs/spirituality/prayers
