From The Sadness of Christ:
And to conclude, how little any man should regard the common people’s favour, or contrariwise
dread their displeasure, that that followed soon after well declared, where, as soon as Christ was once
apprehended, they cried no faster before: ‘Blessed is he that cometh in the name of our Lord,’ and
‘Hosanna in the highest,’ than now in a fury they cried out clean contrary: ‘Away, away with him and
crucify him.’
Saint Thomas was not impressed by numbers, knowing well the fickleness of Man.
