There were abuses and vestiges of paganism evident in his Imola diocese and St. Peter was determined to crush it. His principal weapon became the short sermon. <ref>[http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/SaintOfDay/default.asp?id=1092 St. Peter Chrysologus] American Catholic</ref> Peter Chrysologus was a master of homilies. He also spoke with such vehemence that he sometimes became speechless from the excitement he was aiming to share with those who were listening to him. He preached that the [[devil]] does not wish to possess a man, but to destroy him. Peter gives priceless advice from one of his homilies, "There are three things, my brethren, which causes faith to stand firm, devotion to remain constant and virtue to endure. They are [[prayer]], fasting and mercy. Prayer knocks at the door, fasting obtains and [[mercy]] receives. Prayer, mercy and fasting are one. They give life to each other." <ref>[http://www.doctorsofthecatholicchurch.com/PC.html Saint Peter Chrysologus]Doctors of the Catholic Church</ref> In simple, clear understanding, Peter discussed many topics including his love for the Blessed Virgin Mary, the [[Apostles]] Creed, the Incarnation and about St. [[John the Baptist]].
