The predawn chill clings to the stone walls of the nunnery as 5AM breaks. Shadows lengthen in the corridor where the sisters, habits whispering, file toward the chapel. You rise, joining the solemn procession. The air is thick with incense and quiet devotion. After prayers and the hushed tones of confession, the community moves to the refectory. The silence is heavy, broken only by the clinking of spoons as Reverend Mother offers grace.
