When the world feels dark, the Gospel still lights the road.
As the Epstein files unfold, we must not let despair take root. The Good Samaritan shows us how to face evil with courage and compassion. Read the full reflection on Substack.

Let’s start a prayer chain that reaches every corner of this hurting world.
I am praying right now, and I invite you to pray with me. Tell me who needs prayer today so we can lift them up together.

Christ never called us to cruelty
If our faith does not feed the hungry or welcome the stranger, it is not the faith of Jesus. Love is the test. Not power, not resentment.

A hurting nation needs prayer right now.
When the ground shakes beneath us, the soul aches for a firm place to stand. Join me for a moment of prayer for healing and courage.

When the courts defend the hungry... pay attention.
A federal appeals judge just ordered the Trump Administration to release overdue SNAP benefits. Justice looks like food on the table for struggling families. #FatherRichV

“Your personal faith cannot be the law of the land…”
When a public employee uses religion to deny someone’s marriage, the state stops being neutral. I believe in protecting both religious freedom and the dignity of every couple.

The Kingdom of God isn’t decided by majority vote.
After the ballots are counted, our call remains the same: love our neighbor, seek mercy, and build peace. The real work begins today. #FatherRichV #FaithInAction #Matthew25 #PostElection #ChristianUnity

God will give you the strength you need today.
You don’t have to do it alone. Take a deep breath, whisper His name, and remember: grace meets you in every moment.

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.

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.
