"Grace fills empty spaces, but it can only enter where there is a void to receive it, and it is grace itself which makes this void."-Simone Weil, Love in the Void: Where God Finds Us
"[God] created beings capable of love from all possible distances. Because no other could do it, he himself went to the greatest possible distance, the infinite distance. This infinite distance between God and God, this supreme tearing apart, this agony beyond all others, this marvel of love, is the crucifixion. Nothing can be further from God than that which has been made accursed."-Simone Weil, Love in the Void: Where God Finds Us
