"Two years before my ordination, I was stricken with a severe attack of tuberculosis. In that infirmary, I reached the depths of discouragement and hopelessness. But it was there too that I really found Mary. In my darkest hour, I tuned to her for help. She responded with love. I recovered, returned to the seminary and was ordained."

Later Years

The Final Years

Every day, God gave me the grace and strength to continue the work He entrusted to me. We collected millions of rosaries for families in Russia and its neighboring countries. At Family Theater, we produced programs on Christ's Passion, the Annunciation and the Rosary.

In the summertimes of my childhood, the Ox Mountains in Ireland were a blanket of purple flowers, majestic and changing with each season. In the winter of my life, I watch the Pacific roll onto the shore each day, majestic and changing with every tide.

What a lesson. No matter how mighty and powerful, things change with the season and the tide. I pray that families will be able to survive the seasons and tides of life. I know that Mary will always be with them, especially through the Rosary.

Father Peyton died on June 3, 1992.
