Jonathon Roumie is an actor who plays Jesus in the T.V. series The Chosen.
He is a devout man who lives his Catholic faith.
If you haven't seen the series the Chosen, I strongly encourage you to watch it!
This series has become a reality for me and for so many others.
“God is real, and he is completely in love with each and every one of you.”' - Jouathon Roumie
Jonathon Roumie spoke at the March for Life in Washington D.C. this past weekend.
Thousands of men and women marched together for the unborn.
Light has shone through the darkness after these past 50 years, after the overturn of ROE V WADE.
“History has been made. Life has triumphed in an extraordinary way,” he said, “and the light of world, who is Jesus Christ, the author of life, his light has burned so very brightly within each and every one of you, irrespective of your specific beliefs, compelling you forward for one reason or another to stand together today to fight for the worthiest and noblest cause possible — which is to allow the unborn the right to enter into the world, and defeat those earthly forces who seek to destroy the very evidence of them.” Jomathon Roumie
The Lord is my light and my salvation.
How fitting for Psalm 27 to be the Responsorial Psalm today.
Jesus is the light of the world.
He asks us to be a light to others.
A light for women, men and the unborn. A light for Mothers, Fathers and children.
He asks us to examine the areas of our lives that need His light.
Jesus and Mary ask us to pray the Rosary.
St. Padre Pio said,"The rosary is the weapon against the evils of the world today."
RVW is overturned but the battle is not yet over.
Our prayers continue for the protection of the unborn and their mothers.
The March continues, but in the end, we know God won!
Thanks for your post. I Also enjoy watching The Chosen, though with a sometimes critical lens, and most recently was inspired by Episode two of season three. Have you seen it? Towards the end there is a beautiful scene in which Jesus answers this question asked by St. James the Lesser, who happens to have a physical ailment: "Why haven't you healed?" The scene really highlights the dignity of human life, that God has a plan for each life. There are hardships and difficulties – – there is suffering, but as Jonathan pointed out so boldly, Jesus the author of life has already won. Life is all the more worth living, in him.
