“God, Country, Notre Dame.”
It’s engraved in the stone of an entrance to the Basilica of Sacred Heart at Notre Dame.
On Wednesday, Irish football coach Marcus Freeman was asked what “God, Country, Notre Dame” means to him.
His answer could be used in videos for years to come.
Mark Wahlberg starts EVERY day on his hands and knees in prayer—and says it’s the secret to handling life’s chaos after 50.
In this heartfelt clip, the actor opens up about loss, turning 54, and why daily prayer is non-negotiable for him:
- “If I get on my hands and knees first thing when I wake up, the rest of the day is going to be easier.”
- “Expressing my gratitude and making sure I’m wearing that armor…”
- “Bringing people back to prayer… is so important to our sanity and to our well-being.”
After a decade of world events that pulled many astray, Wahlberg believes a real relationship with God is essential armor against whatever comes next.
Raw, honest, and timely.

40 Years Ago Today
January 12, 1986
° 1985 NFC CHAMPIONSHIP °
The #Bears' savage '46 defense' shuts down the Rams, 24-0 — the franchise's first NFC title, and the first time in NFL history that a team records consecutive shutouts in the same postseason.
After having gained an NFL playoff record 248 yards a week earlier, Eric Dickerson is limited to only 46 yards by #DaBears. The Rams offense totals just nine first downs and 130 net yards.
As "Bear Weather" arrives in the fourth quarter, Richard Dent forces a fumble by Rams quarterback Dieter Brock. Wilber Marshall recovers it and travels 52 yards through the flurries for a touchdown.
