Waiting for God
Attente de Dieu
It contains the six letters to Perrin —among them 'Hesitations concerning Baptism' and the 'Spiritual Autobiography', which recounts Portugal, Assisi, Solesmes and Herbert's poem— and the essays 'Reflections on the Right Use of School Studies', 'The Love of God and Affliction', 'Forms of the Implicit Love of God', 'Concerning the Our Father' and 'The Three Sons of Noah'. It is Weil's most personal text and the one that fixes her position on the threshold of the Church.
