I want you to crawl around this room

and ask this group for your penance.

I just want my penance.

Please, I beg you. Please. Please.

I'm begging you, please.

I'm begging you

please, I'm begging you. Please, please.

I'm begging you, please.

I don't understand.

Where is everyone?

Gone.

Gone? What do you mean, "gone"?

Didn't you hear?

It's because of Vatican ll.

Now and forever. God bless, sister.

You three are late.

Ls everyone here now?

Why are there only five dresses?

Where's sister Emanuel?

Sister Emanuel's dress

will not be needed anymore

because sister Emanuel left.

She's not going to be taking vows

with the rest of you.

What do you mean, she left?

Where'd she go?

I have no idea, she just left.

That's all.

I guess she didn't want

to be a nun anymore.

I don't know if this is something

that I need to figure out on my own.

I'll do whatever it takes.

If you want me to stay, then I'll stay.

But I can't tell

if that's what you want anymore.

I can't hear you, and I don't know.

I pray and beseech thee

- that each of these dear pledges...

Ls he speaking English?

...of Jesus and Mary,

their being preserved

from all uncleanness.

Thy may with spotless mind,

pure heart and a chaste body

serve Jesus and Mary most chastely

all the days of my life.

Amen.

What is it you seek?

I seek to take the vows

of chastity, poverty and obedience.

To give my life

to god for eternity.

To be married forever

to our lord Jesus Christ.

Bride of Christ,

you are now professed.

What is it you desire?

With the help of god,

I have come to know in this community

both the difficulty and joy

of a life completely devoted to him.

My desire is to make

permanent profession

within this community

and to wear the holy habit of the rose.

And what is it you seek?

I seek...

What do I seek?

What do I seek?

I seek...

I seek something more.
