Abraham
Scene I
ABRAHAM. Brother Ephrem, my dear comrade in the hermit life, may I speak to you now, or shall I wait until you have finished your divine praises?
EPHREM. And what can you have to say to me which is not praise of Him Who said: “Where two or three are gathered together in My Name, I am with them”?
ABRAHAM. I have not come to speak of anything which He would not like to hear.
EPHREM. I am sure of it. So speak at once.
ABRAHAM. It concerns a decision I have to make. I long for your approval.
EPHREM. We have one heart and one soul. We ought to agree.
