Mother Anne asks Jenni the traditional question: “Dear Jenni, what do you wish?"  "I wish to try your way of life and am willing to be tested myself for admission to this Discalced Carmelite community of St. Joseph, Terre Haute.  I ask you to teach me to follow Christ crucified and Mary, his mother, according to the Teresian charism."

Mother Anne delivers an exhortation on the transformation involved in taking the habit, while Jenni listens attentively.  Then she clothes Jenni with the white mantle of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
