Throughout the following day [Palm Sunday], while Christ the king, riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, received the enthusiastic acclamations of His followers, the Blessed Virgin remained in retirement in Lazarus' home in Bethany, although by visions she was able to watch the thrilling triumph of her Son. She noticed how sad He was as He gazed at the Holy City and wept over its approaching destruction, and she perceived the extraordinary gravity and serene majesty of His countenance during the solemn procession. On this occasion she heard the Voice of the eternal Father in heaven declare: "I have glorified, and I shall glorify again!"
Not sure who painted this, but I like it. |
