LENT STUDY: WITNESS
Dominican friar and popular Godsplaining podcaster Fr. Patrick Mary Briscoe, OP, is your guide on that journey in this daily Lenten devotional. Witness brings you face-to-face with the people of the Bible who encountered Christ in his Passion--saints and sinners, friends and enemies, the faithful and the afraid. From the Good Thief to Pontius Pilate, Martha to Barabbas, these figures reveal the depths of the human heart--flawed, fearful, hopeful, and deeply loved.
WITNESS
Each week focuses on a different virtue as you explore the lives of those who were present with our Lord:
• Repentance with the Good Thief and Barabbas
• Trust with the Virgin Mary and John the Beloved
• Compassion with Simon of Cyrene and Veronica
• Humility with soldiers and witnesses
• Courage with Thomas, James, and the apostles
• Sacrifice with the centurion Longinus and others
Witness is an invitation to step onto the dusty roads of Jerusalem, to stand in the courtyard, and to kneel at the foot of the Cross. As Fr. Patrick writes, "The story of the Passion is not only about what happened to him—it's about what is happening to us."
