"Return to me with all your heart" (Joel 2:12).
This first week of Lent calls us to repentance—a turning back to God with everything we are.
Join Fr. Patrick Mary Briscoe, OP, in this Week 1 reflection from Witness as you encounter the Good Thief, Pontius Pilate, Claudia Procula, Barabbas, and Caiaphas. These figures from Christ's Passion reveal the many faces of repentance—and the many ways we resist it.
Some, like the Good Thief, found mercy in their final moments. Others, like Pilate, stood at the threshold of grace but turned away. Through their stories, we see our own hearts reflected back to us: the struggles, the fears, the choices that lead us closer to Christ or further from him.
Witness invites you to walk the dusty roads of Jerusalem and discover what true repentance looks like. 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."
