Mark Wahlberg, despite the fact that his faith is unpopular in the entertainment industry, is a fervent Catholic.
He recently shared his philosophy on how he plans to spread his message on the Today Show.
On Ash Wednesday, he publicly acknowledged the season of Lent by appearing with a cross made of ashes.
Wahlberg defined fasting during Lent as “disconnecting from harmful habits in order to grow spiritually,” and he shared that he would be giving up meat and eating only one meal between Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
Sharing his faith but also respecting the faiths of others, he serves as an exemplary role model in the arts.
My Brother Kicked Our Grandma out Because She Had No Money Left – She Taught Him a Lesson He Will Never Forget
When my brother Paul kicked Grandma Eleanor out for not contributing financially, I took her in, driven by love and loyalty. As she rebuilt her life and found unexpected success, Paul’s regret surfaced, but I wondered if it would be enough to mend our broken bonds.
“Rachel, I can’t keep doing this,” Paul said, slamming his cup down on the table. “She’s costing too much.”
“Paul, she’s our grandmother. She raised us, remember?” I replied, trying to keep my voice steady. I could see the tension in his jaw, the frustration in his eyes.
“That was then. Things are different now,” he said, crossing his arms. “She doesn’t bring anything to the table anymore. She just sits there, painting and wasting time.”
“Those paintings mean something to her,” I said. “And they could mean something to us if we let them.”
