Snippets of the Homily delivered by Cebu Archbishop Alberto “Abet” Uy for the celebration of the World Day of the Poor at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Parish in N. Escario St., Cebu City last 16 November 2025

“Kon matapos ang kalibutan ugma puhon, unsa inyong buhaton karon? Ang maong pangutana is very important because it will remind us what truly matters in life.

Basin duna pa kay tawo nga gikaaway, wa pa nimo pasayloa ug wa pa pod ka mangayo og pasaylo.

Basin naay tawo nga imong gihigugma pero wala pa gyod nimo pasabta giunsa nimo siya paghigugma.

Basin naa kay gusto buhaton nga maayo, pero wala pa nimo himoa.

Life is short. Tomorrow is never guaranteed to any one of us. Pwede gyod matapos ang kalibutan anytime. If you want to love, to forgive, to care, to do something good, do it now.”
