Simone Weil on Affliction

Posted on June 28, 2013 Written by Mark McIntyre 4 Comments


Simone Weil on Affliction“It is sometimes easy to deliver an unhappy man from his present distress, but it is difficult to set him free from his past affliction. Only God can do it. And even the grace of God itself cannot cure the irremediably wounded nature here below. The glorified body of Christ bore the marks of the nail and spear.”
