The Just Will Live by Faith — Silvio José Báez, ocd
Homily for the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Miami, October 5, 2025
In the first reading this Sunday, we heard a passage from the book of the prophet Habakkuk, one of the smaller and lesser-known books of the Bible. Habakkuk is different from the great prophets who came before him, who publicly denounced sin and injustice. His prophecy, by contrast, resembles more a passionate prayer of solidarity. The prophet complains and protests to God.
A Cry from the Midst of Injustice
What was happening in Habakkuk’s time, in the seventh century BC, confounded him and filled him with a strong sense of powerlessness. The emerging Babylonian empire was imposing itself with the might of its powerful army, dominating the small kingdoms of the ancient Near East. Within the kingdom of Judah, local authorities—kings and magistrates—oppressed the people, stripping them of their freedom and impoverishing them more and more each day.
In that international scenario of violence and injustice—dominated by the power of arms, oppression, and wrongdoing—the prophet Habakkuk raises his voice, not to protest injustice publicly among men, but to appeal to God. He reproaches God for failing to carry out justice, defend victims, or intervene in history to restore the law that has been violated.
Let’s hear the dramatic words the prophet addresses to God:
“How long, Lord, shall I call for help without being heard?
I cry out to You about violence, but You don’t intervene.
Why do You let me see injustice and remain indifferent to oppression?
I see destruction and violence, disputes and conflicts” (Hab 1:1–2).
These are strong, sincere, passionate words from a believing heart that refuses to resign itself to evil.
Wrestling with God
Habakkuk denounces the oppression and violence of the powerful, but he also expresses his bewilderment and indignation before the Lord, the supreme judge, the Holy and Just God, who doesn’t intervene, remaining a spectator to suffering—but without acting. The words Habakkuk addresses to God are intense, almost scandalous.
This prophet teaches us that we can’t be indifferent to tyrants who impose their will through repression and violence. He also teaches us that we shouldn’t resign ourselves to being intimidated by the wicked and their cynical words. Above all, he shows that in situations of injustice and oppression we must turn our hearts to God in prayer.
Habakkuk reminds us that prayer isn’t just asking, much less crossing our arms and expecting everything from God. Prayer is also struggling with God in the night of His apparent absence, crying out to Him, protesting, and breaking the silence. Prayer is presenting ourselves to God with the oppression of the people, the suffering of the victims, and the anguish of seeing the wicked still triumph in history.
In the darkest and most painful moments, in situations that seem impossible to overcome, we mustn’t sink into solitude. We must learn to cry out to God from the contradictions, conflicts, and challenges of life.

In the end, the Lord answered the prophet Habakkuk—not by offering a magical solution or sparing him the effort to keep fighting, but with mysterious words inviting him to wait and trust.
“The Lord answered me and said:
Write down the vision I’ve revealed to you; make it clear on tablets so that it can be read easily.
It’s still a vision of the distant future, but it’s coming and won’t fail.
If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come.
The wicked won’t survive, but the just will live by their faith” (Hab 2:2–4).
The prophet, a direct witness to the course of history, now receives an invitation from the Lord to contemplate history from a different perspective, with the assurance that evil and injustice will never prevail. God promises to intervene and bring justice, ensuring that the oppressor and tyrant will disappear completely, leaving no trace in history.
He also asks the prophet to write down this promise as evidence of His faithfulness:
“The wicked won’t survive, but the just will live by their faith” (Hab 2:4).
The time will come when the cynical tongues and the criminal weapons of arrogant tyrants are silenced forever. One day, they’ll be defeated. The Lord tells Habakkuk, “This time will come, and if it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come” (Hab 2:3).
Faith that Transforms
Waiting isn’t easy, because to wait isn’t just to let things happen, but to trust in the Lord’s promise and cooperate with Him to bring about historical change. What’s asked of Habakkuk is to have faith in God’s promise.
Today’s Gospel also speaks about faith. The disciples ask Jesus to increase their faith (Lk 17:5). Surprisingly, He tells them that they don’t need enormous faith; even faith that’s humble and small, like a mustard seed, can achieve things that seem impossible—like uprooting a tree and planting it in the sea (Lk 17:6).
Faith that’s humble and small can change our lives, give us a new mindset, and energize our commitment to justice. It’s a matter of quality, not quantity.
Living by Faith
The faith we need isn’t extraordinary or miraculous. In our fragility, it’s a faith that makes us feel a greater need for God. In our littleness, it leads us to live with deeper trust in Him and encourages us to abandon ourselves to the Lord and trust Him more intensely each day. As believers, we mustn’t be discouraged by what seems impossible.
Through faith in the Lord, believers become “useless servants.” “Useless” doesn’t mean someone is good for nothing or incapable. The Greek word in the text describes people who expect no benefit for themselves, seek no personal advantage, live without craving recognition, need nothing but to be themselves, and desire nothing more than to serve others with love.
This is the power of faith that the Lord asked of the prophet Habakkuk, His disciples, and of us today.
Holding Fast to Hope
Let’s let our lives be guided and strengthened by faith, even if it’s as small as a mustard seed. Faith doesn’t mean ignoring what’s happening or leaving everything in God’s hands. Rather, it gives us the courage to speak out against evil and never accept injustice as inevitable.
Let’s take history seriously, refusing to grow numb to the oppression of the people or the suffering of the victims. Let’s fight with hope, staying strong, supporting one another, and holding on to optimism. God promises that good and justice will triumph.
All it takes is a handful of humble, compassionate hearts, a tiny bit of faith, and a fresh vision of hope.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, speaking on campus Sept. 10, said that her parents — who grew up in the segregated South — gave her the confidence to fight injustice and navigate the challenges she has faced in her career.
“Part of my mother’s lesson was, you’re going to see the injustices, you may even face them, but you have to understand that focusing on them will end up, at times, taking you away from the work, which is really the most important thing,” she told Deborah Pearlstein, director of the Princeton Program in Law and Public Policy. She explained how her mother helped her learn to choose her battles.
Jackson spoke about her new memoir Lovely One, which describes her path to becoming the first Black woman to serve on the nation’s highest court.
One injustice she discussed in her talk happened during her sophomore year at Harvard, when someone in the main area of the quad where she lived put up a Confederate flag. “You have to remember that the very serious function of racism is distraction, that it keeps you from doing your work,” Jackson recalled her mother saying. She remembered repeating this at a Black Students Association meeting, which she said was helpful for the group to continue its advocacy despite the circumstances.
Later, as an assistant special counsel to the United States Sentencing Commission, she fought to bridge disparities between sentences for drug offenses related to crack and powder cocaine, despite knowing it could jeopardize her chances of becoming appointed as a judge. After Congress changed the mandatory minimum, she worked to have sentences revised for people who had been convicted under the previous guidelines, who were predominately Black. While the commission was bipartisan, she worried about being too forceful with her approach. She delivered a passionate speech on the topic, which she said may have contributed to her appointment as a U.S. district judge in 2012.
Jackson said among her most prized possessions is a copy of a petition filed to the Supreme Court by Clarence Gideon, a poor man who was charged with breaking and entering but was denied court-appointed counsel. He was convicted, but on appeal in 1963, the Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling that any criminal defendant who can’t afford a lawyer be provided one. Jackson said as a former public defender, she understood the significance of his case.
When asked about the Supreme Court’s emergency docket, used to address applications that seek immediate action, and the Trump administration’s frequent use of that process, Jackson said, “I think it’s hard to look at the emergency docket and glean anything right now … about the nature of the court.”

The three pillars of democracy are free and open votes, a free media and an independent judiciary. I have concluded from first hand experience that the judiciary cannot be allowed unfettered power because absolute power leads to creeping fascism and a distinct separation of the judiciary from justice and the people. Simply, they stop serving justice and the people, and instead solely serve their system and their power. I hope that others watching the SCOTUS actively dismantle democacy will consider the absolute and inmediate need for democracy to have a check on the power of the judiciary to help ensure they stay on the rails of justice. The people must be able to remove corrupt justices and politicians or corruption will always prevail.
