Eight Promises of God: Discovering Hope Through the Beatitudes

In a world filled with challenges and uncertainty, Scripture offers a path to deep and abiding hope through the Beatitudes. Eight Promises of God: Discovering Hope Through the Beatitudes encourages readers along a spiritual journey where they will discover how Christ’s teachings are promises, and his words are good news.

Drawing from Scripture, personal experiences, and the rich tradition of the Catholic Church, Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR, reveals how each beatitude holds a distinct
promise of hope for those who believe. Whether you face grief, fear, doubt, or
other challenges, Jesus’ words can be a source of comfort and strength: “Blessed
are the poor in spirit ... Blessed are those who mourn... Blessed are the peacemakers”
(Matthew 5:3-4, 9).

Through reflection and spiritual guidance, this book will help you:
• Learn from the example of Our Lord and Our Lady to share in
the love promised in the Beatitudes
• Experience God’s grace and peace in moments of suffering
• Cultivate a heart of humility, meekness, and compassion
• Encounter the transformative power of hope anchored in Christ
Eight Promises of God will invite you deeper into the heart of the gospel,
demonstrating that true peace and joy are found not in earthly achievements
but in following God’s will with profound hope
