We explore a critical moment in Juan Diego’s journey: his attempt to resign from his mission after being politely rejected by the bishop. He returns to the Virgin Mary, humbly reporting the failure, but then asks her to send someone "known, respected, honored" instead, describing himself as a "porter's rope" and "only the tail, the wing." The reflection highlights the difference between true humility (knowing your limits but trusting God's power) and the lie of unworthiness (self-doubt that suffocates hope and sabotages God's plan). Juan Diego’s request, though cloaked in humble language, is a moment of human frailty where he lets the bishop's rejection cause him to personalize the failure and doubt his suitability for the mission. The invitation is for listeners to confront their own feelings of unworthiness, reminding them that they are uniquely chosen and made worthy by God, and that self-doubt should not prevent them from fulfilling the beautiful mission He has for their lives.

Today we start a new segment for the week. We'll look into Juan Diego's emotional journey as he faces rejection from the Bishop and a family tragedy. After being asked for a sign, Juan Diego readily agrees to return to the Virgin Mary for one, showing his confidence. However, his commitment is immediately tested when he finds his uncle, Juan Bernardino, gravely ill, leading him to miss his appointment with Our Lady the next morning. The reflection highlights how the Christian path is a "roller coaster of faith"—swinging between joy, sadness, hope, and disappointment—but that the constant thread is God's unwavering love and the companionship of the Virgin Mary. Listeners are invited to ask, "Who is walking with me on the road?" and to bring their specific burdens and disappointments to Our Lady, praying for the strength to imitate Juan Diego's fidelity by returning to her for peace and guidance.
