ICON:

Riley's cousin David went into training for the priesthood but couldn't make it through. Too hard, he admitted and he didn't really feel the calling for it.

Riley feels the call of something. He dreams of Latin words that are not holy, and of being a soldier in an army that God hasn't blessed. He wakes afterwards filled with more yearning than he has ever felt when he knelt and prayed. He listens attentively to the priest's voice echo. He takes communion, tastes the wine, and feels the weight of his mother's expectations for him, heavier than the silver chalice.
