Opinions on Monk Sub-class: The Blessed

[x3n0n]

I like it!

Rules notes/questions:
* Material components for casting? (Oops, nevermind)
* Free castings: limited to *prepared* blessings, I assume? What slot/spell level are they cast at? (If anything but "the highest level available right now", there's an incentive to only prepare high-level spells.)

I would happily play this, and would happily let someone else test it at my table as a DM (but I don't have anyone who likes to Monk as much as I do).

Edits: oops, you already answered about material components.

More notes on second reading:
Aid and Death Ward seem really strong under these conditions (refresh on short rest with 8hr non-concentration duration), but that might be fine at the levels they are unlocked.
Command looks good and is fun with Tongue of Sun and Moon.
Sanctuary seems fine too.

Are the cantrip restrictions intended to avoid Guidance spam? Light, Sacred Flame, and Thaumaturgy all seem fine and flavorful.

Can the ribbon at 6 be optional? Under some circumstances, you may well prefer magical bludgeoning to either radiant or necrotic.
