In this deeply honest and comforting homily, Deacon Rohan Daniel wrestles with one of the most universal questions of faith: Where is God when we suffer? From war and illness to loneliness and doubt, this message speaks directly to those moments when belief feels difficult and God feels distant.

Drawing from the struggles of the Israelites, the doubt of Moses, and the Gospel encounter between Philip, Nathanael, and Christ, this homily reminds us that doubt is not the end of faith—but often the place where faith begins. Deacon Rohan challenges the temptation to rely solely on science, progress, or worldly comforts, showing how these alone cannot heal the deeper wounds of the human heart.

Ultimately, this message proclaims the hope of the Gospel: God is present with us in our suffering, revealed in the crucified and risen Christ. We encounter Him not in isolation, but in love—by caring for our neighbor, sharing compassion, and opening our hearts. A powerful reminder that God knows us before we know Him, walks with us through our struggles, and offers us true comfort, healing, and eternal communion.
