Mark Wahlberg on Lent: “It’s about trying to do more. To be better, to grow as a person, as a servant to God, as a father, as a husband, to grow as an example. What better than to have Ash Wednesday fall on Valentine’s Day because where do you get more love than with the Lord?" https://t.co/6c3omZL0dP
