>From the end of the earth I call;
My heart is faint.
         -Psalm 61:13

" `Tristitia' seems to be a sadness caused
by adversity and trial in social life.
It comes from lack of peace with others.
`Acedia' is rather the sadness, the 
disgust with life, which comes from a much
deeper source –our inability to get along with ourselves,
and our disunion with God."
      -Thomas Merton
