"again and again they will think they are weeping for God but this will not be so in reality."
St. Teresa of Avila, Interior castle, Sixth mansions, chap. 6 (Complete works of St. Teresa of Jesus, translated and edited by E. Allison Peers, vol. 2 (London: Sheed & Ward, 1946), 300). "Do not let us suppose that if we weep a great deal we have done everything that matters; let us also set to and work hard, and practise the virtues. . . ."
