Holy Week: The Shock of Holy Week with Fr. Patrick Mary Briscoe, OP

About this episode

Fr. Patrick Mary Briscoe, OP, discusses the significance and traditions of Holy Week.

Holy Week arrives with a sudden silence—marked by darkness, stillness, and striking liturgical traditions—that invites us to enter more deeply into the mystery and memory of Jesus’ Passion, Death, and Resurrection. Fr. Patrick Mary Briscoe, OP, helps us prepare for the intensity of the week by sharing the rich Holy Week traditions of the Dominican Order.
