PROPOSAL FOR FURTHER DEEPENING
  • Meditate and pray with the text “The gift of tears” by CATHERINE DE HUECK DOHERTY. – THE GIFT OF TEARS
  • Read Spiritual Diary [4, 8, 24, 31, 64, 68, 109, 112, 130, 148] and see the difference with no. [222]. Why do you think this change is due to?
  • Read Spiritual Diary [136, 155, 156 and 160]: What did St. Ignatius learn about the gift of tears?
  • Look contemplatively at Spiritual Diary [241-490] and try to understand the importance of these notes for St. Ignatius.
  • What do you think he was trying to do with this diary of his tears?
  • Read the description of consolation in the EE [316]: note how St. Ignatius implicitly considers bitter tears and sweet tears, and all of them he considers the effect of consolation. What personal experience do I have of this? Do I have experience of shedding bitter tears and sweet tears? What effect have they left on me?

  • What is the place of tears in my life? What is the place of crying? Can I tell them apart? Have I experienced the liberating effect of both? Can I remember a specific moment in which this has been the case?
