In this homily, Fr Vincent reflects on the recent 6.9 magnitude earthquake in Cebu and the remarkable resilience of the Filipino people. Despite devastation, loss of lives, and homes destroyed, their faith in God remains unshakable.

Fr Vincent reminds us that faith is not a feeling but a conviction: trusting in God even when we don't understand, surrendering control, and believing that with God nothing is impossible. He challenges us to reflect on our own journey - do we truly trust God, or do we rely only on ourselves? Like the mustard seed that can move mountains, our faith, however small, can make the impossible possible.

He concludes with a call to pray for the people of Cebu and for our own hearts, that we may grow in faith and trust in God.
