		<description>Heavenly Father, Your word says that You will never leave us or forsake us. Send Your Holy Spirit to minister to Mel in quiet hours when he searches for peace. Let Your still, small voice whisper to him that he is significant in Your kingdom. Lord, I pray that you reveal your unchanging, unyielding love to him in a way that he will receive. Set him on the right path and use him for Your glory. Amen.</description>

		<description>I don’t care what Mel Gibson has said or done, that is his personal business. He has to answer to God not to us for what he has said and done. He speaks his mind like most of us do, and Lord knows I’m not perfect. Just like the Jews, the Catholics, the Christians, the Pagans, and all races and sexes.  He is scrutinized more because he is a public figure and that he made a movie that was controversial to some who don’t believe and that makes others to judge him and his Catholic faith.  Our Catholic faith is strong and he is human like the rest of us are. It is easier for others to throw stones, he needs help.  A true follower of Christ knows of my words and that is to forgive and pray for those who have lost their way from him.  I pray for Mel to guide him back to our Father God and for him to get the help that he needs.  He needs our prayers; I will never turn my back against him.  I will be forever grateful to Mel Gibson for making the greatest movie ever The Passion Of The Christ.</description>

		<description>I think that Mel is a victim of Satan ever since he made the Passion movie. He was a fairly decent person up until then. As far as I know the alcoholism, verbal racial abuse and current stuff going on, has come about ever since the release of that movie. We do need to pray for him without a doubt, that he turns back to God, and turns his life around.</description>

		<description>I hate to see a gifted artist and someone that was an upstanding Catholic as evidented by the trials he went through for the Passion of the Christ to fall.  Rather than judge, its probably better to pray for him.  We need role models and we need for Mel to receive the good graces of God to help him through this time period in his personal life.  He is lost and I pray that he finds his way back for the sake of himself and his children.</description>

		<description>I agree that he needs our concern and our prayers, not all of the nasty comments and bashing that I&#039;m seeing, especially the way that the media is running away with this. Oh, the blessed media who thrives on judgemental, &quot;bad&quot; news! Has any of you ever heard of someone being under demonic attack/oppression, even possession? Do you not think that just the fact that he gave us The Passion of The Christ, that he would be a prime target of the evil one? Or doesn&#039;t anyone believe in the devil anymore!? I have worked very closely over the past year, hands on, with victims of demonic attack/oppression. In one severe case a monsignor under direction of an Exorcist had to perform more than one exorcism on a home that was experiencing things that you would only think to see in the movies! I personally feel that he is suffering from demonic oppression and is under attack. He shows all of the signs of this. He needs prayers of deliverance, as well as taking steps to seek out help from within the Catholic church. I wish that I myself could contact him with this information, and would be surprised if no one has yet offered this suggestion to him. I propose that an initiative be started to petition prayers for him, and to also offer up masses for him. It&#039;s the least that we can do to show our gratitude for giving us The Passion of The Christ, a movie that was truly blessed by God.</description>

		<description>Cyberman, I guess you have a problem with the Church that Christ instituted.  We were all one faith until the Reformation in the 1500&#039;s.  Christ said to his Apostles, &quot;who sins you forgive, they are forgiven, who sins you retain they are retained.&quot;  There were no denominations when Christ started His Church.  Those denominations were made by man.  I see many going to therapists at 125.00 per hour.  I go to the priest who Christ said I should go to and I come away with peace and sanctifying grace.  It doesn&#039;t cost me a dime.  That is the way Christ wanted it.  Do you argue with Him, who is all Divine and knowing?  He knows that if we don&#039;t have the humiility to tell someone our sins, we will not do anything about them.  The passage, &quot;go tell your sins to one another&quot;, then why not a priest who Christ gave the power to forgive sins.</description>
