Gravity and Grace - index to location of quotations in Weil's notebooks
The American Weil Society has posted this helpful guide compiled by Martin Andic and edited by Eric Springsted.
Notebook Sources for Gravity and Grace Quotations
Also available here: https://docslib.org/notebook-sources-for-gravity-and-grace-quotations
In his introduction Springsted highlights the issue of the loss of Weil's original context in Gustav Thibon's compilation of her papers and notebooks:
--> "Yet, GG is still widely read and deservedly so. One should keep it on her night stand. But, truth be told, for anyone who would write on Weil, GG is sand that one should carefully avoid building a house on. In GG the entries are striking and well worth quoting and thinking about. But they do not reflect Weil’s own ordering of them, or anything even close, even within separate chapters, to the flow of her thought."

Black Theology
Pick in her 2019 article "Film's Religious Algorithm." Paragraph 42 (3):387-402, notes that “the time is ripe for exploring the affinities (and misalliances) between Weil’s philosophy, black radical thought and black theology. “ (p. 391)
