What does a soul long for most? Often, simply to know it is needed. Men who had been discarded by family, friends, and society found at the convent farmstead something they had nearly forgotten – that someone was glad of them, waited for them, counted on their hands. The book explores this quiet hunger and how it is answered in a community built on Christ's love.
When the brothers were asked to write what they imagine Paradise to be, their answers held a tenderness that surprises – a land without spite or sorrow, a corner where even the least might sweep with a little broom and be welcomed home. From a Clean Slate: Of Those Who Once Stood on the Brink closes with these humble visions of the life to come, written by men who know how far they stand from it, yet press on with hope. If your heart turns toward eternity, you will treasure these voices. Download the e-book for a donation and help St Elisabeth Convent in Minsk.
