Saint Francis would say: "If the servant of God, as may happen, is disturbed in any way, he should rise immediately to pray and should remain in the presence of the heavenly Father until he restores unto him the joy of salvation. For if he remains stupified in sadness, the Babylonian stuff will increase, so that, unless it be at length driven out by tears, it will generate an abiding rust in the heart."
