Habits for Holiness

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. You can learn more here.

St. Alphonsus Liguori Quote

Those who pray are certainly saved; those who do not pray are certainly damned.

Essentials for the Spiritual Life

There are small, practical things we can do to make a big impact on our spiritual life. First, we need to prioritize prayer. Second, we need to live in community with one another. As Mother Teresa once said, we belong to each other.

How to Find Community Where You Are
  1. Pray for it and trust God will provide 
  2. Prioritize it and look for it 
  3. When the door is open, walk through it
