Joel 2:12 Now, therefore, saith the Lord: Be converted to me with all your heart, in fasting, and in weeping, and mourning.

Mourning. For moving the heart to repentance these external works are requisite, at least in will: if they be wilfully omitted, it is a sure sign that the heart is not moved. (St. Jerome) (Worthington)
