[[File:Ernst Hildebrand Verzweiflung 1885.jpg|thumb|First [[pray]] for the gift of tears, so that through sorrowing you may tame what is savage in your soul. And having confessed your transgressions to the Lord, you will obtain forgiveness from Him. ~ [[Evagrios the Solitary]]]]
'''[[w:Tears|Tears]]''' are the secretions of the glands that clean and lubricate the eyes. Strong emotions, such as sorrow or elation, along with irritation of eye, may lead to an increased production of tears, or '''[[w:crying|crying]]'''. The process of yawning may also result in increased lacrimation.

* First [[pray]] for the gift of tears, so that through sorrowing you may tame what is savage in your soul. And having confessed your transgressions to the Lord, you will obtain forgiveness from Him.
