Łzy w życiu duchowym
Lipniak, Jarosław M. (Wydawnictwo Pallottinum, 2021)
This article aims to show that a lot can be said about the mystery of human tears. There are different kinds of tears that are dripping from our eyes, seemingly similar to each other, and so different There are beautiful tears and there are ugly tears. The tears needed and the ones completely unnecessary. There are soft and noisy tears, male and female ones. There are good, holy and happy tears. The tears can detoxify our human soul and help us in developing of our spiritual life. The article will present examples from both the Old and New Testaments, which will show that the human tears are a peculiar form and means of communication, not only interpersonal, but also a communication with God. They express the whole range of emotions that have accompanied and accompany the people of all times. There are: holy tears, tears of prayer, regret and repentance, separation, emotion, compassion, joy, rejection and desire. The tears that accompany prayer can often say more than a river of words. The Church that understands the nature of tears will be better prepared to serve the suffering persons. The human being who understands the depth of tears will be able to establish a deeper relationship with God and will be better prepared for times when tears will appear in his eyes.
