Witness with Fr. Mary Patrick Briscoe, OP
9 Episodes
This Lent, walk the road to Calvary with those who witnessed the Passion firsthand.
Join Dominican friar and beloved Godsplaining podcaster Fr. Patrick Mary Briscoe, OP, for a transformative Lenten journey. In his new daily devotional Witness, you'll encounter the people of the Bible who stood face-to-face with 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 biblical figures reveal the depths of the human heart—flawed, fearful, hopeful, and deeply loved.
Witness is more than a devotional—it's an invitation to step onto the dusty roads of Jerusalem and let the miracle of redemption unfold again in your own life.
