Their tear though are not crocodile tears. There could be a number or reasons for, or causes of this, but the common denominator has always been and will ever be, the nagging awareness of the VANITY OF LIFE with nothing but the here and now dominating. This is a mere submission to the aggressive simplicities of a competitive life. When the bother of living dies down, this will ensure the conviction that we were all been taken for a ride for a meaningless destination. Is this “Jesus wept,” also? (John 11:35) We find the shortest sentence in all of the scripture; Jesus wept. For whatever reason, He wept. All the more excusable, explicable, are a priest’s tears. This shows his basic humanity: sensitivity and vulnerability in the face of life’s multitudinous trials.
Whatever an education is, it should make one a unique individual, not a conformist; it should finish one with original spirit which to tackle the big challenges: it should allow one to find values which will be a road map through life, it makes one spiritually rich. So no matter how hard and painful a ministry or apostolate and even cries, he must continue the mission entrusted to him.
Thus, a person who loves whatever he is doing, wherever he is, whomever he is with; it should teach him what is important, how to live and how to die. Priests should have that attitude even though they cry.
