By Sister Mary Peter, M.I.C.M. 

Sister Mary Peter’s talk focuses on the theme of spiritual warfare and the Christian’s call to persevere in faith amid the moral and cultural confusion of the modern world. She explains that every soul is engaged in a battle between good and evil, and victory depends on humility, truth, and complete reliance on God’s grace rather than human strength. Drawing on Scripture and the lives of the saints, she emphasizes the power of the sacraments, prayer, and devotion to Mary as essential weapons in this fight. Sister Mary Peter warns against discouragement and compromise, especially when the truth is unpopular or when suffering tempts one to doubt God’s plan. She concludes by urging listeners to remain steadfast, trusting that fidelity to Christ, even in small acts of daily courage, brings light to the world and leads souls to eternal victory.
