When the dishes arrived, Saint Colman and his disciple were greatly surprised. Coleman asked whence they came and an angel answered, "Your prayer and the goodness of Guarie". Saint Colman would not eat until they got further knowledge. Soon Guaire and his horsemen entered and when Guarie saw them he asked how long they had been there. Saint Coleman answered "seven years and forty days" Guaire ordered a church to be built and Saint Colman to take care of his spiritual life.
