St. Juan Diego
You who once told our Lady:
“ I am a nobody,
I am a small rope, a tiny ladder, the tail end, a leaf ”
St. Juan Diego pray for us that we may obtain true humility of heart for only the very humble and very chaste can enter kingdom of heaven.

"Smallest of my children"
Excerpt from Homily of Pope John Paul II at the Canonization Mass of St. Jaun Diego Mexico City, Wednesday July 31, 2002
Beloved bothers and sisters of every ethnic background of Mexico and America, today, in praising the Indian Juan Diego, I want to express to all of you the closeness of the Church and the Pope, embracing you with love and encouraging you to overcome with hope the difficult times you are going through.
St. Juan Diego, a good, Christian Indian,whom simple people have always considered a saint!
We
ask you to accompany the Church on her pilgrimage in Mexico, so that
she may be more evangelizing and more missionary each day.
Encourage the Bishops, support the priests, inspire new and holy vocations, help all those who give their lives to the cause of Christ and the spread of his Kingdom.
Happy Juan Diego,
a true and faithful man!
We entrust to you our lay brothers and sisters so that, feeling the call to holiness, they may imbue every area of social life with the spirit of the Gospel. Bless families, strengthen spouses in their marriage, sustain the efforts of parents to give their children a Christian upbringing. Look with favor upon the pain of those who are suffering in body or in spirit, on those afflicted by poverty, loneliness, marginalization or ignorance. May all people, civic leaders and ordinary citizens, always act in accordance with the demands of justice and with respect for the dignity of each person, so that in this way peace may be reinforced.
Beloved Juan Diego,
"the talking eagle"!
"the talking eagle"!
Show us the way that leads to the "Dark Virgin" of Tepeyac, that she may receive us in the depths of her heart, for she is the loving, compassionate Mother who guides us to the true God. Amen.
