Monday September 29, 2025XVI Week after Pentecost---In today’s readings, we see the heart of God for all nations, the call to live without favoritism, and the costly courage of Christ. Solomon dedicates the temple with a vision that even foreigners would come and know the Lord (2 Chronicles 6–7).
James challenges us to live out a faith that refuses to show partiality, reminding us that mercy triumphs over judgment (James 2:1–13).
And in Mark, Jesus stands before the council, falsely accused yet steadfast, declaring His true identity even as it leads to suffering (Mark 14:53–65).Join us as we explore how God’s mercy shapes our worship, our relationships, and our courage to stand firm in the face of opposition.
