The Virtue of Tears
Great is the virtue of tears!
«Great is the virtue of tears and a great feat and great sins and lawlessness are wiped away through tears. I witness this in the Gospel. When the Saviour was given over to the Judeans, Peter by oath denied Him three times before the rooster crowed….” and coming out, he cried bitterly”. Do you see what a sin the medicine of tears was able to blot out? »
