We all have feet of clay, so we have to be careful when we cover personalities who have had a conversion and now offer a good example for us. Just a few months ago a footballer was feted for his faith and his devotion to the Rosary, a couple of months later he was found to have transgressed and it left a bad taste in the mouths of many who had come to admire him. As Christians we have to be aware that there but for the grace of God go any of us, and those who are admired and praised are as human as the rest of us.
That said, I would like to draw your attention to an article on actor Mark Wahlberg. Once a rowdy offender he is now a daily Mass-goer and communicant. His change of heart and the example he sets within the film industry is what our Fraternity longs to see and prays for. We will keep him and his family in our prayers.
By the way, if I may - are you a member of our Fraternity? We pray each day for those in the theatrical and cinematic arts and seek to assist the Church in the renewal of culture. If you are not, you might consider joining us. Details of membership can be found here on our website, and you can join here.
