Mark Wahlberg might take a day off from the gym, but he never lets a day go by without praying.
“That’s the most important thing,” the actor said in an interview. “I take a day off, I take two days a week off from the gym now. I don’t take a day off from getting on my hands and knees and reading my prayer book and my daily devotionals.”
“Everything derives from my prayer life and my pursuit of my faith and a relationship with God, of course, trying to live a purpose-filled life,” he told The Christian Post, adding that it’s especially helpful when he’s playing darker roles.
He explained, “If I act like a crazy person for 12 hours out of the day, I come back, and I say another little prayer, and I ask for forgiveness. We are trying to entertain people. We want to break up the monotony of everyday difficulty. A lot of people are having real struggles and hard times in life, and so to be able to give them something to escape and enjoy and laugh and cry and be at the edge of their seat with a movie like this, which is such a thrill ride.”
Wahlberg’s most recent project is FLIGHT RISK, a Mel Gibson-directed action movie that sees Wahlberg play the bad guy.
“It’s a blast,” he told FOX 5 of playing a villain.

Mental illness masquerading as religious piety.

“It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Mark 2:17)
He’s a Democrat.
Pray for wisdom to not take on any more pathetic plots/scripts.
No he is not dummy
“Mental illness masquerading as religious piety.” I’m sure your master is very proud of you for saying this.
Nevertheless, here’s how it works: For those who know no explanation is necessary; for those that don’t know no explanation is possible.
Turn away and come back to the light of our loving God.
A quick perusal of spacebar’s posting history revels he/she/it to be a one or two sentence low-information commenter, with no substance but lots of Inferiority, erm, Superiority complex.
Pray for him/her/it.
Now and then I will skip my reading and prayers. Feels like starting the day without coffee, everything is just off a bit.
Praise God. He is easily one of my favorite actors along with Dennis Quaid.
I believe Mark is a true believer in his religious duties..........
Just another mediocre movie out of Hollywood. There are thousands of them, just peruse netflix or amazon prime.
Meaning you denigrate that not just prayer to false deities and or to the departed, which this Catholic actor likely includes, but than prayer is simply "mental illness?"
Which must mean you believe in a Creator who has no interest in being a person's God, the ultimate source of security, object of allegiance, and spiritual affection, who communicates and is to be communicated with. Or you are an atheist/anti-theist, a person of great faith. Who believes that an exceedingly vast, systematically ordered universe, exquisitely finely tuned for life with profound intricate, elaborate complexity and extensive diversity, can be all a result of purely natural processes\.
Which indeed requires much faith.
More so i submit, than that the universe logically testifies to design, requiring a First Cause (at the least), that of a being of supreme power and intelligence being behind the existence of energy and organization of matter, and laws regarding the same.
Mark Wahlberg is a devout Catholic. There’s nothing fake about it.
Marky Mark grew up.
