"Tears were consecrated and made sacred when Christ, the God-man, wept three times; once over death, in the case of Lazarus; once over the decay of civilization, when He wept over Jerusalem; and once for the sins of men as He crimsoned the olive roots of Gethsemane with tears of blood. In contrast to this compassionate love for the ills and woes of men which sin had brought, the ancient poet could fix no worse epithet on Pluto than: "He was a person who could not weep."   Archbishop Fulton Sheen
