Reflection for March 20

As Jesus road along, people kept spreading their cloaks on the road. As he was now approaching the path down from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of power that they had seen, saying, “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven!” Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him. “Teacher, order your disciples to stop.” He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out” (Luke 19:36-40).
