Find hope in God’s promises revealed through the Beatitudes, from the host of the #1 podcast, The Rosary in a Year.

In the Gospels, Jesus offers us the good news of salvation. One of the best ways to understand the hope and promises of Christ’s coming is through the Beatitudes. In Eight Promises of God: Discovering Hope Through the Beatitudes, Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR, invites readers to rediscover the deep and unwavering promises God makes to his people.

The Beatitudes are more than a list of sacrifices. They are personal promises of goodness from God to his people. Through prayerful reflection, real-life stories, and the deep well of the Church’s wisdom, Fr. Mark-Mary illuminates how these blessings of Christ are not abstract or out of reach. They are alive, present, and deeply relevant—especially in our moments of greatest need.

In these pages, you will:

Uncover the divine promises within each Beatitude that often go unnoticed
Deepen your relationship with Christ through practical spiritual guidance
Encounter an unwavering hope that only God can provide
And more!

Whether you are in a season of suffering or simply searching for deeper meaning, Eight Promises of God will walk with you—step by step—toward the heart of Christ, where true consolation and lasting peace are found.

Fr. Mark-Mary Ames is the Director of Communications and the Director of Priestly Studies of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (CFR). The primary mission of the CFR community is a wholehearted embracing of Jesus Christ and their Holy Father, St. Francis of Assisi. Through their commitment to prayer and contemplation, the study of Sacred Scripture, fidelity to the Church and the sacraments, their fraternal life, and their generous service to others especially the poor, the CFRs receive the nourishment necessary to live out their lives as sons of St. Francis in the Capuchin tradition.

Fr. Mark-Mary is the host of the Ascension Presents video series The CFRs and the host of the 2025 podcast The Rosary in a Year (with Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR). He was also the executive producer of the Poco a Poco music album featuring Br. Isaiah, CFR, and is the author of several books including Habits for Holiness: Small Steps for Making Big Spiritual Progress and Eight Promises of God: Discovering Hope Through the Beatitudes.

His favorite work, however, is not nearly as public. Near and dear to Fr. Mark-Mary’s heart is his work walking one-on-one with the suffering, hearing confessions, and offering service as a regular chaplain to the Sisters of Life formation convents.
