"Seeing Beyond the Stones"
Proper 28.B.24
Mark 13:1-8
The Rev. Melanie McCarley
I recall the first time I stepped foot into St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. I knew the building was large—but walking inside—well, it just about took my breath away. It was that grand. Everything was on a monumental scale. The sheer size of the place is overwhelming. It reminds me, a bit, of the great stones that caught the disciple’s attention as he left the temple in the Gospel passage appointed for today.
