When faith becomes a weapon, it stops being faith.
Christian nationalism isn’t the Gospel—it’s idolatry wearing a cross. Jesus didn’t convert with fear or force, but with love and mercy.

Christ still lives where the world refuses to look.
The poor are not God’s charity cases, they are His chosen ones. The Message from the Margins invites you to rediscover the Gospel where Christ still dwells.

When the Pope wept, the Church remembered who it was. Pope Leo XIV’s tears for migrants weren’t politics, they were prophecy. This is what it looks like when the Gospel becomes real. #FatherRichV #FaithInAction #MigrantJustice #ProgressiveChristianity #Compassion
A priest is walking 800 miles to honor immigrants’ dignity.
Faith was never meant to sit still… it walks beside the broken and the brave.

What kind of tree bears fruit of shame, despair and crisis?
When Jesus told us to judge a tree by its fruit, He gave us the test. Conversion therapy fails it. Love heals, coercion destroys. Protect the children.

No one is beyond redemption.
Every Christian should pray that all souls reach heaven, even those we struggle to love. Mercy wins in the end, because love never fails.

When a TV host calls for killing the homeless, Christians must wake up.
This isn’t news commentary…it’s a call to conscience.
Feed, clothe, and shelter the poor, or we crucify Christ again.

Jesus didn’t preach nationalism… He preached love.
Faith that worships power isn’t the gospel of Christ. Test every teaching by its fruit: does it produce love, peace, and mercy—or fear and division? #FatherRichV

When law becomes fear and power turns cruel, we must remember: Christ came not to wield power over, but to bear power for — with the weak, for the captive, for the lost.

St. Carlo Acutis loved video games, even Pokémon — and he still became a saint.  
Holiness isn’t about escaping the world; it’s about loving God through the life you already live.

If you’re walking through a dark season, this prayer is for you.  
May God’s light meet you where you are and bring hope to your heart.

Jesus said, “I was a stranger and you welcomed me.”  
Our faith calls us to treat immigrants not as threats, but as neighbors.  
Hospitality is not politics — it’s the Gospel.

A new week begins.  
Pause and pray for God’s blessing on this Monday — for strength, peace, and hope to carry us through.

May God bless the days ahead and give us hearts open to grace.

History made: Sarah Mullally has been named the first female Archbishop of Canterbury.  
A hopeful sign of leadership rooted in faith and service.  
May her ministry be guided by wisdom and grace.

The government shutdown isn’t just politics — it’s a wound to the dignity of workers and the poor.  
People at the margins will pay the highest price.  
Let’s pray and act for a nation that puts people before power.

Schwarzenegger and Pope Leo are urging us not to give up on climate change.  
This isn’t politics — it’s a moral calling to care for God’s good creation.

If you’re carrying pain in body, mind, or heart, this prayer is for you.  
Let’s ask God for healing, strength, and peace.

The world mourns the passing of Dr. Jane Goodall — a gentle voice for creation and for hope.  
May we honor her by caring for the earth and every living creature.  
#FatherRichV #ProgressiveChristianity #Faith #JaneGoodall #CreationCare
Pope Leo’s recent words are a gentle but clear sign that our faith doesn’t belong to a political brand. Many of us feel trapped by the way abortion has been used as a wedge. It’s time to walk free.

We all have relationships in need of healing.  
Pray with me today for reconciliation and mercy — that God may soften hearts and bring us back together.

The U.S. has officially renamed the Department of Defense back to the Department of War.  
That’s a betrayal of our American ideals and of Christ’s call to be peacemakers.  
We defend and protect, we never glorify war.
