Sin Is To Be Purged By Tears

When a servant of God is troubled about anything, he ought immediately to have recourse to prayer and perservere in it before his heavenly Father, until salutory joy is restored to his soul. For if he remains long in sadness, there will grow in him that confusion of heart which, if not purged by tears, will produce a grievous rust therein.

St. Francis
