Make Them Stop

“I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out.”

For some reason this verse from this week’s gospel reading won’t let me go. It’s such a startling statement. Christ’s return to Jerusalem was so essential to all the world that the stones would cry out if the people did not.
