Reflecting on the \u003cem\u003ePater Noster\u003c\/em\u003e prayer, the authors articulate an urgency of attention that floods all pretenses of our heartbroken present. With a new introduction to Weil’s text by the poet Ariana Reines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHailed by her posthumous publisher Albert Camus as “the only great spirit of our time,” the French theologian, philosopher and political activist Simone Weil (1909-1943) is now widely recognized as a patron saint of modern spirituality. Her writings such as \u003cem\u003eGravity and Grace\u003c\/em\u003e advance a metaphysics of ascetic worship rooted in literature, Gnostic Christianity and anarchist politics. She died at age 34 of malnourishment, in solidarity with those living under German occupation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spanish Carmelite nun, mystic and religious reformer, Saint Teresa of Ávila (1515-1582) sustained profound states of divine union, documented in her writings, teachings and famously, a seraphic transverberation sculpted by Bernini. The first woman to be elevated to doctor of the Church, her works of poetry, autobiography and spiritual counsel form a major corpus of ecstatic meditation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45248149454871,"sku":"9798990416598","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/1780672942-900.png?v=1782681716","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/weil-simone-on-the-lorpb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
