[Exton, PA, May 1, 2025—]

Eight Promises of God walks readers through the promises made to the faithful in the Beatitudes, and emboldens them to trust in God’s providence.

Host of the #1 podcast The Rosary in a Year, Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR, has written Eight Promises of God: Discovering Hope Through the Beatitudes, a book that helps Catholics cling to the hope of God at all times.

Diving into the Beatitudes, this new book presents readers with the unwavering promises God makes to his children and invites them to trust and rely on a Father who loves them.

Eight Promises of God gives Catholics a space to understand the Beatitudes, the promises of God, and the Good News that Jesus presents in these words of Scripture.

Fr. Mark-Mary comments on the depth of relationship that can be found by living from God’s promises: “My friends, let us keep Jesus before us as the model, with the understanding that the way to the heights of his holiness and the depth of his love is the way of Jesus through prayer and through the Cross. But even now, my friends, even now, we can share in the blessedness of Jesus’ own relationship with the Father.”

Ascension has also released a 9-Plan in the Ascension App, allowing readers to enjoy additional readings, Bible verses, and relevant videos from Ascension Presents.

Eight Promises of God is the perfect addition to Fr. Mark-Mary’s other Ascension titles, Habits for Holiness and The Father.

Eight Promises of God is available at www.AscensionPress.com/Promises.

About the Author

Fr. Mark-Mary Ames is the director of communications and director of priestly studies for 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 Ames, CFR – Ascension Press Newsroom

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 Fr. Isaiah, CFR, and is the author of both Habits for Holiness: Small Steps for Making Big Spiritual Progress and The Father: 30 Meditations to Draw You Into the Heart of God.

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.
