Psalm 6:7
Douay-Rheims
I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: I will water my couch with my tears.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
"Let us imitate," cries St. Chrysostom, "this penance: for if we do not weep now, we must neces- sarily weep and howl hereafter, then, indeed, to no purpose, but now with great advantage : then with shame, now with great honor. It is good to weep always, especially at night, when no one may inter- rupt the enjoyment of this delightful exercise, and wo may indulge it freely."
