Exploring the five kinds of tears, ranging from those of worldly sorrow to the sublime tears of divine union, she emphasizes how tears signify the state of the soul's journey towards God. The episode concludes with St. Catherine's earnest petitions to God, seeking guidance in discernment, truth, and the ability to lead others on their spiritual path.

Episode 14 covers Treatise 3, subsections 12-17.
