‘It’s a reminder that I need to do more, and I need to be better,’ Wahlberg said, adding: ‘I think we all have things to repent for.’

As we begin our own Lenten journeys today, starting with receiving ashes on our foreheads at Mass, Catholic actor Mark Wahlberg shared why anyone who is seeking to get right with God this Lent should take the opportunity.

My respect for Mr. Wahlberg continues to grow and grow. Hollywood is a sewer teeming with bottom-feeders, and Wahlberg's faith is just a welcome breath of fresh air.

I agree. I just wish he accepted everything The Church taught, though. Same with Nicole Kidman.

IDK. I watched a clip of a comedy movie he stars in called Ted, and level profanity and obscenity was severe.

Ah. I did not know that.

Well, perhaps he's in the process of growing in his faith, and will eventually bring his views more into line with the Church. I'd say he's come a long way already, considering his role in Boogie Nights nearly 30 years ago.

Yup. Agreed.

Never seen that movie. I don’t want to.

I never have either. Have no desire to.

I never have either. Have no desire to.

Same here.

I never have either. Have no desire to.

There’s a list of movies I will never see.

My poor eyes have seen too much garbage.

I don’t need anymore garbage for my eyes or on my soul.
