Marino Restrepo: Spiritual Warfare Weapons of Eucharist and Confession

On this penitential Friday of Advent, I present to you the POWERFUL testimony of Marino Restrepo. He speaks about the importance of the Eucharist and Confession as the most powerful weapons of spiritual warfare. He speaks of the power of humility against the devil and how God expects Catholics to use their talents to help those who have not been gifted with the same amount of talents.

About Marino Restrepo:
"He enjoys a very strong support from the authorities of the Catholic Church at home and abroad. He will not do any thing without the consent of the Church first."

Marino says,
"About Me: Marino Restrepo is a Catholic lay missionary from Colombia who travels the world sharing his testimony. Marino was born a Catholic but disregarded his faith at an early age and embraced all the self-seeking illusions of the world. He chose to experience a life of drugs, unhealthy relationships and New Age philosophies. His acting/musical career led him to Hollywood where he was a producer and musician. Marino thought he had it all until a visit home to Columbia in 1997 for Christmas. His sister encouraged him to pray a novena prayer to the baby Jesus. He accepted thinking it would give him an extra ounce of 'good luck'. Following the novena, Marino went on his way to visit his uncle. His visit was short-lived as Marino was kidnapped by guerrilla rebels of the FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) and held captive in the jungle for six months. They told him they would kill him once they had received ransom for his kidnap. For 15 days he lay in a cave full of bats and infested with numerous insects and bugs. It was here, in his complete isolation and despair, that Marino had a mystical experience of God. His life changed forever.

"Five and a half months later, Marino was miraculously released from captivity after a miracle of God, and after his release he went back to his Catholic faith. Eighteen months later he became a full time missionary for the Catholic Church leaving all of his past, and his worldly possessions behind."
