Friday within the 21st week Year C. 1 Corinthians 1:17-25; Mark 6:17-29.

August 29, 2025 Emily Arthur

Friday within the 21st week Year C. 1 Corinthians 1:17-25; Mark 6:17-29.

Stand firm in your faith

Paul tells us that the "foolishness" of God is wiser than human wisdom. This is an appeal to focus on faith rather than worldly knowledge. That is why he insists that, "We walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7). God's will invites us to walk toward sanctification.

It is such a faith that gave courage to John the Baptist, allowing his head to be shopped off. John, by his faith, stood strong in the midst of all threats and dangers. Fear did not control his life, but Faith guided him. While Herod's life was rooted in human approval, John's entire life was grounded on God's promises. We, too, whenever we anchor our faith in Christ, no fear, not evil can overthrow us.

St. John the Baptist, pray for us!
