Actor Martin Sheen says he is praying for his son Charlie and wants to appear on screen with him again. The elder Sheen said his son, who checked into rehab last month, had the backing of his family, Yahoo News reports. When asked how he was supporting his son, Martin replied: “With prayer. We lift him up and we ask everyone who cares about him to lift him up, and lift up all those who are in the grip of drug and alcohol abuse, because they are looking for transcendence.” Speaking at the UK premiere of his new pilgrimage film The Way at London’s British Film Institute, the 70-year-old – who acted alongside Charlie in the 1987 film Wall Street – said he would be happy to work with him in the future.

Lent is the season during which catechumens make their final preparations to be welcomed into the Church.
