54
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,759
Speaker 3: The monastery was hidden in the heart of the majestic

55
00:04:41,879 --> 00:04:44,360
snow covered peaks of the alp foceas.

56
00:04:44,519 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: Les flu coun dene don le foi de li vere.

57
00:04:50,079 --> 00:04:52,279

Speaker 1: At Trevelle le Xampos pancien Querque de soles parven perspe.

59
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,079
Speaker 3: Through the towering ancient pines. A few rays of sunlight

60
00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:07,560
managed to pierce the thick gray clouds.

61
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: Seticikelis vive in gien nando le qure te ton pri

63
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,519
Speaker 3: It was here that Elise lived, a young nun whose

64
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:18,759
heart was filled with doubts.

65
00:05:19,439 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: E le vetu jour creon sa nisium marie saint mon

67
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 3: She had always believed in her mission, but recently a

68
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,160
persistent question troubled her. Was this truly the life she

69
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,040
had chosen.

70
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: Elise perse de luz a priche monesterre melis mouli sen

72
00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 3: Eligue spent long hours praying in the chapel of the monastery,

73
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,519
but the words seemed empty to her, devoid of the

74
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:57,360
warmth she sought.

75
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: Netan so monto oui sage lupe serve vetandres.

76
00:06:04,959 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 5: Not O.

77
00:06:05,439 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 3: Her gentle and wise mentor, watched her with tenderness.

78
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: Elise vidiceti suvon la foie par fois comnivere.

79
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 3: Elise, he often told her faith is sometimes like winter.

80
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,959
Speaker 1: Aissan le foi de distant maison des sous en nourie

81

de nouve puspretai cur.

82
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 3: It seems cold and distant, but beneath it it nourishes

83
00:06:32,079 --> 00:06:33,360
new shoots ready to bloom.

84
00:06:34,079 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: Nay jis sou de monde si stuelles ucie la ve

deri rayeer.

86
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 3: But Elise wondered if the shoot was within her, or

87
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,439
if she needed to flourish elsewhere.

88
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: Sous von e ta le ve crique sonanier confide.

89
00:06:54,079 --> 00:06:57,199
Speaker 3: Often she spoke with Luc, her friend and confidante.

00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: Riquete Plein de Ville tou jour ree couti.

91
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 3: Luke was full of life, always ready to listen.

92
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: Neur campale chen gement Elise vi conseille till ma'emea chemin

94
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 3: Do not fear change, Elise, he advised her. Even an

95
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,040
unknown path can lead to wonders.

96
00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:24,639
Speaker 1: Le nie longue soul pourrise.

97
00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:28,959
Speaker 3: The nights were long and lonely for Elise E.

Speaker 1: Crene de de suva souti conteurrel.

99
00:07:34,079 --> 00:07:36,279
Speaker 3: She feared disappointing those who counted on her.

100
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,519
Speaker 1: A soi es serndi se la la chappelle.

101
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: One evening she went alone to the chapel.

102
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: Le Nier de Pierre de froi vescience Pousson.

103
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 3: The stone walls were cold, the silence heavy.

104
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,639
Speaker 1: A segenouie d v lute gillie cherchon non son cur

105

la repuon sas sondilleen.

106
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 3: She knelt before the frozen altar, searching in her heart

107
00:08:04,199 --> 00:08:05,519
for the answer to her dilemma.

108
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:11,399
Speaker 1: Allord' reten de suru saint in pay natn gillonvais.

109
00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 3: Then, in the calm of this sacred place, an unexpected

110
00:08:16,279 --> 00:08:17,199
peace enveloped her.

111
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,040

119
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,919
she cherished to serve and to bring light to others.

00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,799
Speaker 1: Elise sur relva ve can suffer renouvelle.

00:09:00,639 --> 00:09:06,519
She smiled softly, soumterre te pierre maveno. Her heart was clear.

126
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,759
with a new understanding and a deep commitment to her faith.

127

132
00:09:44,399 --> 00:09:47,759
Speaker 3: Each snowflake seemed to whisper to her that tranquility often

133
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,240
resides in places where one does not think to look.

134
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:57,120

Speaker 3: And it was there in this monastery, between the snowy

137
00:10:05,799 --> 00:10:09,080
mountains and under the winter sky, that Ilize finally found

138
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,120
