From Exile to Mercy: Christ's Mission Is Our Salvation | Fr. Jim McCormack, MIC | 8-5-26

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.Jesus fulfilled that promise by opening the door of salvation far beyond the people of Israel. His mercy is not reserved for one nation or one people—it is offered to every person, to every heart willing to receive it. Through His Resurrection, the gift first witnessed by a few has been extended to the entire world.Readings for August 5th 2026: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/072926.cfm© 2026 Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception.
