Pious, sensitive young Cosmas believes that he has a vocation to become a Trappist monk, but the reality of monastic life disappoints him. Fellow monks are irritating. The life of the monastery seems worldly. His own weaknesses appall him. Is God calling Cosmas to this life? If he can't live the life, does that mean God isn't calling him to it? Many lives - single, married, vowed, ordained - turn on these questions. Pierre de Calan explores them in this exquisite tale of a man who learns sanctity does not mean perfection.
