Sebastian kept a respectable silence and then continued with a prayer of thanksgiving:
“Thank, Dear Father, for that Thou dost vouchsafe to feed us with the live giving spiritual body and blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus, The Christ. You promise to us in these holy mysteries, that we are One Body, in this One Love. Send us now into the world in Peace, that we may love and serve all. In the name of our Precious Savior, Jesus Christ, Out Lord; Amen!”
Silence was kept again. Finally, Francis broke the silence, “Brothers, let us discern with One Mind, the will of Holy Mystery.”
Again, silence! Sebastian broke the silence this time, “We must take Grandfather Eagle …. and the glowing worm, of course.”
There was a murmur of assent. Now, Francis spoke, “That leaves five more choices.”
“We need a four legged.” It was Parsifal who made the suggestion. “And perhaps a flying insect.”
“We have the donkey!” Sebastian protested.
“I wish we had a camel here in these parts'” a Brother suggested from the outer circle.
“I know what we should do,” suggested Francis.
