Sojourner Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 God graciously offers forgiveness and reconciliation even for egregious sins. Mr. Wahlberg has sinned in his lifetime (haven't we all??). But it is definitely encouraging to see him making steps toward rectifying the situation, and to see him openly treasuring his faith. It is a testimony to the fact that he, like the rest of us, is on a journey of conversion and growth in faith and obedience. Perhaps rather than focusing on his past sins (which, for all we know, have quite possibly been absolved) we could celebrate the evidence of grace in his life and that of his family. I think it's wonderful, for example, that he has influenced his wife to convert to the faith. Perhaps we can all pray for his and his family's continuing conversion and growth, particularly since he holds such a position of cultural influence.

Ash Wednesday Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) He apparently had quite a violent childhood filled with a number of criminal incidents. That is to say, before his days of "Good Vibrations" and underwear modeling. He also flirted with Buddhism for a while. I think Hollywood also could have taken him in a lot of different directions, so it certainly shows God's grace is at work to see he's recently married in the Church and remains a Catholic.
