Brother Masseo informed Francis that Christ had answered both Brother Sylvester and Sister Clare and her companion and revealed that "He wants you to go about the world preaching, because God did not call you for yourself alone but also for the salvation of others."
And then the hand of the Lord came over St. Francis. As soon as he heard this answer and thereby knew the will of Christ, he got to his feet, all aflame with divine power, and said to Brother Masseo with great fervor: "So let's go - in the name of the Lord!"
And he took his companions Brother Masseo and Brother Angelo, holy men. And he set our like a bolt of lightening in his spiritual ardor, not paying any attention to the road or path.
