Father Jim Marchionda, OP previews the readings for the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time for this Know Before You Go video, focusing on Habakkuk's plea for justice, Jesus's teaching on faith from Luke, and St. Paul's encouragement to Timothy. He connects these readings to contemporary issues, urging listeners to act on their faith, however small, and to avoid contributing to the negativity and outrage in the world. He calls on viewers to take up the challenge to not contribute to the outrage with the strength that comes from God.
