This is wonderful, thank you! It's the first piece I've read by you but have subscribed to read more of your work ๐Ÿ™

One point I'd like to make regarding Christ's cry of (seeming) despair on the cross... I don't think Weil's take is correct. He is quoting the opening line of Psalm 22 which goes on to prophesy the crucifiction and, crucially its ultimate purpose in extraordinary detail!
