A Poem for Palm Sunday

Today's Ignation Reflection, by Fr. James Kubicki, S.J., also refers to the Gospel account of the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem.  In this reading, some of the Pharisees told Jesus to tell the crowd to stop acclaiming him as king.  Jesus responded: "I tell you, if they keep silent, the stones will cry out!"

Father Kubicki's reflection refers to a poem by Richard Wilbur entitled "Christmas Hymn" (which was later set to music). In a few verses, this poem summarizes the Palm Sunday story.
