Ideas in Passing from Joan Chittister
WHAT DO YOU WEEP FOR?
Evagrius of Ponticus, one of the early desert monastics,
counseled young monastics: “First pray for the gift of tears, to
soften by compunction the inherent hardness of your soul.”
And fifteen centuries later, George Eliot wrote, too, “The
beginning of compunction is the beginning of new life.”
The point is clear: Weeping is a very life-giving thing.
