Hmmm.

Interesting work, on several levels.  

I have one objection.  With the Lord's Prayer, the final 'For thine is
the kingdom' line isn't given in basic Catholic prayer; in the course of
the mass, it is said, though separately, with several lines in between
spoken by the pastor.  

Beyond that... Everything was handled beautifully.  Every seminarian or
novitiate has to go through similar crises of faith.  I've known people
who were unable to take those vows, usually due to love, and have seen
how they give their lives to Christ in other ways.  I was particularly
impressed by your handling of the Abbess; it would have been very easy
to make her into a stereotype, but you chose to go beyond that, and show
the love beyond her imperious demeanor.

Good job, Richard.
