I left...I was frightened...I was confused, I felt, I've never felt that way before. I couldn't stay. I knew that here I'd be away from it. I'd be safe...I can't face him again...Oh, there were times when we would look at each other. Oh Mother, I could hardly breathe...That's what's been torturing me. I was there on God's errand. To have asked for his love would have been wrong. I couldn't stay, I just couldn't. I'm ready at this moment to take my vows. Please help me.

Maria, the love of a man and a woman is holy too. You have a great capacity to love. What you must find out is how God wants you to spend your love.

But I pledged my life to God. I pledged my life to his service.

My daughter, if you love this man, it doesn't mean you love God less. No, you must find out and you must go back.

Oh, Mother, you can't ask me to do that. Please let me stay, I beg of you.

Maria, these walls were not built to shut out problems. You have to face them. You have to live the life you were born to live.
