During a Corpus Christi procession, he became overwhelmed by the love flowing from Christ :jesus:

& was filled with a consuming desire to "preach nothing but Jesus Christ, & Jesus Christ Eucharistic."

Following this call, he left the Marists to establish a religious congregation with a specifically Eucharistic rule, approved by Pope Pius IX. An eloquent preacher, he encouraged frequent visits to the Blessed Sacrament.

"After entering [a church], remain at rest a moment

Silence

is the greatest sign of respect, & respect is the first disposition to bring to prayer."

Peter was also deeply devoted to Saint Joseph . He wrote

"Devotion to Saint Joseph is one of the choices graces that God can give to a soul....When God wishes to raise a soul to greater heights, he unites it to Saint Joseph by giving it a strong love for the good saint."
