Mark Christopher Brandt



PIANIST COMPOSER IMPROVISOR EDUCATOR AUTHOR



From Death to New life



Meditations and Reflections on the Way of the Cross for the Church Suffering and the Church Militant. Published January 1, 2026





Mark's fifth book was prepared for the lenten season of 2026 and beyond. Like its predecessor, 33 Days for the Holy Souls, Mark again uses the Stations of the Cross to bring fresh insights in self knowledge, an important and mandatory aspect of a healthy spiritual life.


There are different stations for every day of the week along with two extra devotions that Mark was inspired to compose for the Crucified Savior and for Our Lady of Sorrows. Those can be found in the back of the book.


From Death to new Life is an inspiring way to participate in the lenten journey and it promises that new life will be waiting for those who truly enter into these prayers with the intentional goal of personal sanctification and repentance for past sins.

The Stations of the Cross



Thirty-Three Days for the Holy Souls
Published September 8, 2025





Mark’s fourth published work was released in September of 2025 in time for use during the month of holy souls. The 33 days referenced in the title are from October 31 to December 2.


This book has very pointed and specific meditations for a variety of pathological problems and their resulting sins. It will have you reflecting upon your own mortality and the need for personal conversion sooner than later.


As catholics we must not be merely content to accept purgatory as our reality in death. We should, on the contrary, be concerned not only for ourselves but for those who have gone before us. We can make a difference in our lives and those around us. We can pray and we can convert.


This book will sober you and focus you on what is truly important while you offer both spiritual and corporal works of mercy with this incredibly tangible and accessible way of the cross.

One Hundred Our Fathers



A Simple Guide to Repairing Your Past
Published June 8, 2024





Mark's third book specifically reaches out to the hearts of those who have been abused in any way and the difficulties that arise in forgiving their abusers and themselves when they are, of course, not actually at fault.


Those who are trying to cope with past abuse have difficulty accepting that what they suffered as injustice is separate from the injustices that we are all responsible for with regard to our personal sin.


Mark gently guides the reader to move forward into heroic virtue, while making reparation for past sins and simultaneously learning mercy for all who have injured us and all whom we have injured.

A Year of favor



Sixteen Meditational Rosaries for More Fruitful Visits with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament
Published October 2017





Mark’s first published book, contains 16 different meditations on the mysteries of the rosary for year round use either in personal or group recitation in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament.


It was Mark’s hope to have the first publication of these reflections coincide with the 100 year anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima. Ecclesiastical permission was granted in June 2017 and the first publication of this book occurred in October 2017.


This book, like the rosary, is not just for Catholics but for anyone and everyone interested in deepening their relationship with Jesus Christ by means of this beautiful, fruitful, ancient, Western way of meditation.

Performing and Recording

As of 2024 Mark’s presence online is minimal by his
