Mark Wahlberg, despite the fact that his faith is unpopular in the entertainment industry, is a fervent Catholic.
He recently shared his philosophy on how he plans to spread his message on the Today Show.

On Ash Wednesday, he publicly acknowledged the season of Lent by appearing with a cross made of ashes.
Wahlberg defined fasting during Lent as “disconnecting from harmful habits in order to grow spiritually,” and he shared that he would be giving up meat and eating only one meal between Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

Sharing his faith but also respecting the faiths of others, he serves as an exemplary role model in the arts.
