ithinkjesusiscool Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Pax! Dear Catholics, do you ever cry/weep due to things that have to do with your religion? If you do so then is it something you do alone or with other people (eg. at Mass or other places)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selah Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Do you mean, when negative things happen? Or when you worship? I do both. I try not to do it in public, but things happen xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhuturePriest Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I have been so moved with love for God and the Church that I have cried, yes. Once I was doing the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, and I was doing the Creed and thinking about the words, and I nearly cried about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilllabettt Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Gift of tears refers to? You know. When you "cry/weep due to things that have to do with your religion?" RE: first sentence of your OP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spem in alium Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Yes, I have cried several times - usually out of great love and joy, but also when I've felt significantly moved or sorrowful. It's happened to me both during Mass or Adoration and privately. Edited March 30, 2014 by Spem in alium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitamin Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I've cried because my knees hurt from too much praying before. Yeah, I got jokes. So? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
