"Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart" (Matthew 11:29).
This fourth week of Lent draws us into the virtue of humility—the foundation of all holiness.
Join Fr. Patrick Mary Briscoe, OP, in this Week 4 reflection from Witness as you discover humility in unexpected voices: children, soldiers, false witnesses, and guards who stood before the King of Kings. These unlikely teachers reveal what it means to be small in a world that prizes greatness.
Jesus, who is God, humbled himself even to death on a Cross. He allowed himself to be mocked, struck, and condemned. He knelt to wash feet. He became the least so that we might become his beloved.
This week asks us to examine our own hearts: Where do I seek recognition instead of surrender? Where do I resist becoming small? Where is Christ inviting me to kneel?
Witness brings you face-to-face with the Passion through the eyes of those who were there—and invites you to let the miracle of redemption unfold again in your own life.
