Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 6:25 pm By Father Pablo Migone

[Homily for the 27th Sunday of Ordinary Time Year C] In the reading today the prophet Habakkuk is discouraged. He is despairing and losing his faith. Things are not unfolding as expected so he complains to God. He implores God in the midst of a terrible situation, full of violence, strife and oppression. God doesn’t do as Habakkuk asks, getting rid of the violence and strife. Though these continue, the words of God greatly encourage the prophet, reminding him to... Read more
