18 let us go up to Drusiana's tomb and say a prayer to Christ for her soul.

ANDRONICUS. Oh sir, it is just like your saintly nature not to forget one who put her trust in you.

ST. JOHN. Look there, invisible God is plainly appearing to us, in the likeness of a fair young man!

AND. (to the audience). Now, tremble!

ST. JOHN. O Lord Jesus, wherefore hast Thou deigned to show Thyself to Thy servants at this spot?

GOD. To the end that Drusiana and the young man who lies beside her tomb may rise again have I appeared, for in them shall My Name be glorified.

AND. Oh, how suddenly he went up again to heaven!

ST. JOHN. Yes, and that prevents my grasping the full meaning of it all.

AND. Well, let us quicken our step. Then, maybe, on our arrival the facts of the situation will explain what you say you cannot yet understand.
