One of his spiritual daughters told that one day a lady came to Padre Pio's confessional crying copiously to the point that she couldn't hardly speak. So Padre Pio told her to try to stop crying, to calm herself, and accept gladly the sufferings that God had sent to her, but at that moment Padre Pio's guardian angel told him not to say that because at the moment when the lady was crying, her guardian angel was collecting in a small vial (a small bottle) her tears. Padre Pio's guardian angel told him that since her tears were from real suffering the vial with all her tears will be presented to God in heaven by her guardian angel the day that she dies and goes to be judged at the throne of God as a worthy sacrifice and a testimony to her life. So every tear we shed, God knows and wants to know about it. Leticia Ewbank The Cenacle Journal article Bottled Tears reminded me of a story I read in a book about Saint Padre Pio of Pietralcina.
