No Sin Greater Than His Love: The Story of Mary Magdalene

Click for More

On the Feast of St. Mary Magdalene, Fr. Tyler Mentzer, MIC, reflects on one of the greatest truths of the Gospel: Jesus always makes the first move to love us. No matter how far we have fallen or how often we fail, Christ never stops pursuing us with His infinite mercy. St. Mary Magdalene's life is a powerful witness that no sin is greater than God's love. Tradition has long portrayed her as a woman deeply wounded by sin and disordered desires before her conversion. In many ways, she represents every person who wrestles with weakness, brokenness, and the attraction of sin. Today's homily reminds us that God never defines us by our past. He sees who we are capable of becoming through His grace. Like St. Mary Magdalene, we are invited to respond to His love, trust in His mercy, and allow Him to transform our lives. Our past does not define us; our encounter with Christ does. Readings for July 22nd 2026: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/071626.cfm

The Jubilee Never Ends: The Grace You Can Receive Every Day

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/010826.cfm Father Chris Alar, MIC reminds us that God’s timing is never accidental. Though the Jubilee Year of Hope formally concluded on January 6, its message—and its grace—did not end. Rooted in Leviticus 25 and proclaimed anew by Isaiah, the Jubilee was always meant to announce freedom, restoration, and mercy. But as Father Chris explains, this freedom is not political or economic. It is spiritual.

From Exile to Mercy: Christ's Mission Is Our Salvation

The restoration of Jerusalem and Israel is ultimately a story of God's unwavering plan of salvation for all humanity. In today's homily, Fr. Jim McCormack, MIC, reflected on how Israel—the twelve tribes—became divided, and how exile and deportation caused many to lose not only their homeland but even their tribal identity. Yet God's promise was never lost.
