The voice at this point says: The voice speaks of solemn profession - but then she wouldnīt have a white veil. Probably itīs an older sequence and they just made a text for it... Later thex speak of Gabriele, a young woman who still is at the beginning - but thex donīt mention her current stage...
The whole thing is put together, but the text doesnīt fit...
