Key Takeaways:

  • Understanding Consolation: Spiritual consolation involves an interior movement towards faith, hope, and love, caused by the good spirits, leading to a sense of peace and connection with God.
  • The Role of Tears: Tears shed in consolation are not bitter but purifying, often leading to a deeper love and understanding of God's works and one's own spiritual journey.
