"Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me..."
After a near-death experience, Catholic actress, model, and television host Joelle Maryn hopes to inspire others in their God-given purpose through her new book, "Become the Fire."
"The Christian experiences and lives a paradox. He possesses joy in sorrow, fulfillment in exile, light in darkness, peace in turmoil, consolation in dryness, contentment in pain, and hope in desolation."
This prayer has been passed down over the centuries as a means of protection from enemies, sudden death, drowning, poison, and more.
On Fridays during Lent, there is a beautiful way to obtain a plenary indulgence: reciting the prayer before a crucifix.
Catholic celebrities, including Mark Wahlberg, Patricia Heaton, David Henrie, and Jonathan Roumie honored the first day of Lent with a social media post about their Ash Wednesday ashes.
