Briscoe is a Dominican friar and Catholic priest based in Washington, DC.
“So why would Jesus do something like that? Why would he ask his disciples what’s bothering them?” Briscoe said.
He did this, he said, because “Jesus is asking his disciples to confront their fears, claim them, and own them.”

“The greatest temptation in the spiritual life is to believe that you can make progress on your own,” Briscoe says.
“How many times have we tried to advance our prayers, to study the Bible more fruitfully, to accomplish good deeds on our own? How many times have we relied on ourselves instead of God? Is it?”
Instead of relying on yourself, he said, “Every challenge in life, every trial, is about surrendering to God and trusting Him.”
Briscoe then said he had recently been “attacked on the streets of Denver.”

Mr. Briscoe, a Dominican friar, wears white religious habits, and “the men clearly thought I was something different,” he said.
“I heard him call out to me. Before I knew what was happening, he ran across the street and grabbed me by the top of my clothing and pulled it off. “I started ignoring it, but I reached out and grabbed it, and I pulled it back,” he said.
“While I held my clothes, I knelt down and prayed, ‘Jesus, let my brother know that I love him.'”
“What was I thinking?” he added.
It quickly became apparent that “this poor man was insane,” Briscoe said, and he “begged him to let him go.”
