Father Mark-Mary Ames is the Communications Director and General Almoner of Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (CFR). He is also the host of the Ascension Presents video series, The CFRs, and has served as executive producer of two albums and successfully released the book “Habits for Holiness: Small Steps for Making Big Spiritual Progress.”

Now he presents his new book, “The Father: 30 Meditations to Draw You into the Heart of God,” in which he presents 30 inspiring stories of exemplary fathers who reflect God’s fatherly love, along with relevant scripture quotes, reflections, and prayers.

As he exits the "honeymoon phase" of his papacy and moves on to the serious business of church governance, Pope Leo has our prayers, support, and love.
