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.

They are alive, present, and deeply relevant—especially in our moments of greatest need.
