"Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit" (John 12:24).
Holy Week brings us to the heart of sacrifice—the gift of everything for love.
Join Fr. Patrick Mary Briscoe, OP, in this Holy Week reflection from Witness as you imitate those who gave what they could to Christ: the man with the water jar, the owner of the Upper Room, the centurion Longinus, and others who offered their lives, their homes, their witness.
Holy Week is when the story reaches its climax—when love conquers death, when sacrifice becomes salvation, when the grain of wheat falls and rises again. We walk through the Last Supper, Gethsemane, the trial, the Way of the Cross, and the tomb. We watch as Christ gives everything.
And we ask ourselves: What am I called to give? What must I lay down so that new life can rise? What sacrifice is Christ inviting me to make?
Witness brings you to the foot of the Cross, where all the witnesses of the Passion gather—where we all gather—to see the love that changes everything.
