A Spirituality of Liberation: The Rosary as a Means of Cultivating Simone Weil’s Attention
Jurnal Ledalero June 29, 2026 Faiz Abimanyu Wiguna, Ikhaputri Widiantini
Drawing on Simone Weil's philosophy, the paper argues that praying the Rosary can cultivate the kind of deep, selfless attention that Weil considered central to moral and spiritual life. Weil's two-step philosophical method—reflection on personal experience—is applied to the Rosary, showing how the practice can serve as a spirituality of liberation. The work presents Weil as both a mystic and a radical, and contributes to progressive discourse in the philosophy of religion within the Roman Catholic tradition.
