Description
"Waiting for God" by Simone Weil is a collection of essays and letters that deeply explore her spiritual and philosophical reflections. Central to the book is Weil's unique approach to faith, focusing on the ideas of attention, waiting, and the nature of God. Written during the years leading up to her untimely death in 1943, these writings convey Weil's struggle with her relationship to Christianity, her views on social justice, and her philosophical convictions. Weil, who never fully converted to Christianity, nonetheless wrestled with the idea of divine grace and the human condition. In her letters to Father Perrin, a Catholic priest, she discusses her intense spiritual journey and the concept of "waiting" for God, not in passivity, but in an active state of openness and receptivity to divine grace.
