We are told to pray with tears of repentance. I have had times when this has occurred. Were they genuine or not - only God knows. Most of the time though, even when I ask forgiveness of my sins, even in confession, I do not feel truly sad it seems. Does anyone else experience this?

guilty as charged, that is me in most confession I must admit. I would remind you that inner tears of repentance work as well, even if you do not outwardly weep.

I've never heard anything about this. Thank you for sharing Matt :)
