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 Jesus 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 our own human heart: flawed, fearful, hopeful, and deeply loved.
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."
