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

St. Dominic: A Torch of Truth, Prayer, and Conversion

In his homily for the Memorial of Saint Dominic, Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC, reflected on the remarkable life and mission of Saint Dominic, founder of the Dominican Order. Even before Dominic was born, his life was surrounded by signs of a special calling. According to tradition, his mother, Blessed Joan of Aza, had a dream in which she saw a dog carrying a burning torch in its mouth, running throughout the world and setting it on fire. This image later became associated with the Dominicans, symbolizing their mission to spread the light and truth of the Gospel throughout the world.
