"If the servant of God, as may happen, is disturbed in any way, they should rise immediately to pray and should remain in the presence of the heavenly Father until He restores unto them the joy of salvation. For if you remain stupified in sadness, the Babylonian stuff will increase, so that, unless it be at length driven by tears, it will generate an abiding rust in the heart."
Saint Francis of Assisi
Celano, Second Life
Chapter LXXXIX
