Ascension Presents Franciscan Friars of the Renewal

Your Actions Have Consequences

I’m sure we’ve all heard a parent, teacher or friend tell us, “You know your actions have consequences.” But what does that mean when considering our life of faith?

Today Fr. Mark-Mary explains how this common phrase can be understood in the positive sense, that all of our “yeses” are a cooperation in Christ’s work of salvation. God wants each and every one of us to share in his plan of saving the world. He is asking for your help.

Meet Fr. Mark-Mary

Father Mark-Mary was ordained as a Franciscan Friar of the Renewal (CFR) in 2018 and lives at a friary in the Bronx.

The mission of the CFRs is to wholeheartedly embrace Jesus through fidelity to the Church and her Sacraments. Paired with their commitment to prayer, contemplation, and study of Sacred Scripture, the CFRs serve those around them, especially the poor, in the footsteps of Christ.

Discover beautiful music from the CFRs and Fr. Mark-Mary’s book Habits for Holiness: Small Steps for Spiritual Progress, both available from Ascension.
