    Then the man went on his way.
    When St Colmcille came home and saw the wheat he was amazed and he followed the man some distance but he could not catch up with him. In the end the poor man shouted back "He who is generous will not go to hell".
    And from that day forward St Colmcille never refused bread to anyone. St Colmcille did penance also. He always faced the worst storms and crossed the mountains in the night and he also fasted for a time.
