FILM ON JOURNEY TO SOBRIETY

 

"WHAT ABOUT THE KIDS?"  - HOST A SCREENING

A short film on the importance of Faith & Family on the Journey to Sobriety.

 

"The far-reaching effects of addiction are ripping through communities across the country. In his new film What About the Kids? writer and director Jim Wahlberg gives us a poignant look into the true cost of this epidemic through the eyes of Chloe, an 8-year-old girl whose parents are addicted to opioids.

Informed by his own battle with addiction, Wahlberg’s film is a touching narrative that illuminates the importance of faith and family on the journey to sobriety."

ST. JUDE PRAY FOR US

 

 

God of life, You made me in Your perfect image, to live in Your love and to give You glory, honor and praise. Open my heart to Your healing power.
Come, Lord Jesus, calm my soul just as you whispered

“Peace” to
the stormy sea.

St. Jude, most holy Apostle, in my need I reach out to you.
I beg you to intercede for me that I may find strength to overcome my illness. Bless all those who struggle with addiction.
Touch them, heal them, reassure them of the Father’s constant love.

Remain at my side, St. Jude, to chase away all evil temptations, fears, and doubts. May the quiet assurance of your loving presence illuminate the darkness in my heart and bring lasting peace.


Amen.

- National Shrine of St. Jude
