Mark Wahlberg does not talk about his faith as a biographical curiosity. He lives it every day, and he said it plainly: he would be nothing without Mary.
During the filming of “Father Stu”, the American actor confessed that he asked the Virgin for the same constancy with which others turn to any saint. He said that she should be given as much credit as possible, and more, because his strength also comes from the courageous women who marked his path. For him, the formula is simple: one reaches Jesus through Mary.
In a recent interview, he went further. When asked whom he serves, he answered without hesitation: the Lord. He spoke about the responsibility he feels for every blessing he has received and about praying constantly to use his talents well. In an industry that rarely kneels, Wahlberg did so publicly and urged everyone never to abandon prayer.
