Hi Brethren,
Happy 45th Anniversary, Missionary Families of Christ! See you this Saturday at the Araneta Coliseum! More than 10,000 of us MFCs will be there. I am excited to celebrate with all of you.
As I have been saying in Charism in a Year, the last book of our Founder will be released this Anniversary weekend.
And I would like to share with you two things. First is my Foreword in the book: Gospel of Division.
And second, is our Founder’s email with the caption he wanted when this book was to be announced.
You can pre-order the book through the Signs and Wonders Shoppe: https://bit.ly/GospelofDivision , and it will be sold at the Servant Leaders Summit this Sunday in Miriam College.
FOREWORD
You have just flipped open the page to the last book written by Frank Padilla, the Founder of Missionary Families of Christ, and the Live Christ, Share Christ Mission. The first Servant General. A Papal Knight. Author of 51 other books. With numerous vlogs and videos up on social media. A member of the Pontifical Council for the Family under three popes: St. Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis.
But to me, a father. Our dad.
Dad passed away on December 24, 2025. He battled lung cancer for almost three years – which many Doctors have said is a miracle in itself. He never stopped writing, going on mission, answering emails, and just doing what he loved: Obeying God.
He did whatever God told him to do. And was never afraid to speak out when needed, teach even the difficult lessons, and correct people in order to straighten their path. He was the absolute missionary.
He finished writing this book in September of 2025, and it may be the most controversial one yet. Leave it to dad to go with a bang. To keep on speaking and pointing out the hard truths.
Now, we go on with the mission he started. Building on the charism he imparted to us in MFC and LCSC. And hopefully, through these writings, be as brave as him. Be as clear as him. And be as concerned for others as him. So that we too can be absolute missionaries that just want to obey God.
God bless you, and may you learn – and live out – the lessons you receive from reading this book: The Gospel of Division.
In Christ,
Xavy Padilla
Missionary Families of Christ

Throughout the history of the Christian Church, there have been divisions, splits and schisms. One big one was the Great Schism in 1054, where East and West separated. Then through the years, religious orders have split and re-split. And then so too with lay ecclesial movements.
Is this a curse upon the Church, which is the one body of Christ on earth?
Now Jesus did say that he came not for peace but for division. Did he intend then for such divisions to happen? Are such divisions contrary to or in accordace with the will of God?
You might be surprised with the answer. Find out from my new book “The Gospel of Division.”
“For to me life is Christ, and death is gain.” (Phil 1:21)
