It happened one day that St Shenouda the Archimandrite was walking with the
great prophet Jeremiah and they came upon a brother who was lying down
while he was reciting the words of Jeremiah the prophet. The holy Jeremiah
then stood over this brother and wept until his tears flowed down on the
brother. St Shenouda then roused the brother and said, ???Get up quickly!
Do you know what the source of these drops of water is???? The brother
answered ???I suppose it must have rained.??? St Shenouda revealed to him,
???My son these drops of water are the tears of the prophet Jeremiah. When
you were reciting his words just now, he was standing over you weeping,
because you???re not speaking them with heartfelt ardour.???

"To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be
ashamed; Let not my enemies triumph over me. Indeed, let no one who waits
on You be ashamed." Psalm 25:1-3
Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
