How do you grow closer to sainthood in your daily life?


Fr. Mark-Mary, CFR, the Director of Communications for the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal and a regular Ascension Presents speaker, answers this question.

He takes 800 years of wisdom from the Franciscans and provides small and manageable steps that can lead anyone to great holiness. This book tackles topics that affect Catholics’ everyday life!


While reading the book learn how:

  • To live within a family and create a Catholic culture in the family
  • To make prayer the center of your life
  • Contentment is needed for deep joy
  • Closely listening to others pulls you into the mystery of Christ
  • Recreation can foster growth
  • To turn the drudgery of work into the “altar of the desk”
  • And so much more!

Giving our lives to the service of Christ is not just for the consecrated. 

It is the call of every Catholic.

Little by little, we can all get heaven. Join Fr. Mark-Mary in Habits for Holiness to take the first small step toward sainthood!

This is one of my favorite books of all time! So helpful! So doable! I return to it almost every day. Since it was published I have given away copy after copy. My request is that Ascension would make it possible to buy discounted copies in bulk. A great gift for any occasion!

My Daily Devotion

I have started to use Habits for Holiness as my daily devotion for Advent. I read small sections and reflect on them each and every day. I know that I will be reading and reflecting on this peaceful book every day of the year. It has become my lightning rod of peace, reflection, and simplicity. Thank you to Fr. Mark-Mary for sharing such a wonderful guidance.
