Juan Diego | Juan Diego y su tío Juan Bernardino eran de los primeros indígenas en México convertidos al cristianismo. El 9 de diciembre de 1531, Juan Diego se dirigía a honrar a María en la misa del sábado por la mañana, cuando una súbita e inesperada sinfonía de canto de pájaros lo detuvo; al prestar atención, el canto se detuvo abruptamente. En el silencio, una dulce voz lo llamó por su nombre. | ||
Juan Diego climbed the frozen hill that hid from him the source of that sweet voice and there atop the hill beheld a Mexican maiden of radiant beauty. She appeared to be about fourteen years old. Golden beams of light streamed from her in every direction. All that touched her radiant beauty was bathed in an ethereal magnificence. Rocks and trees and cacti sparkled like jewels and gold. Raised up by the glory he witnessed, Juan Diego calmly regarded the maiden as she said to him, “I am the ever-virgin Mary, Mother of the true God.” Mary explained that she wanted a church built on the hill from where “I will show my compassion to your people and to all people who sincerely ask my help in their work and in their sorrow.”<ref>Michael S. Durham, ''Miracles of Mary: Apparitions, Legends, and Miraculous Works of the Blessed Virgin Mary'' (HarperSanFrancisco, 1995), pp. 102–3.</ref> | Juan Diego climbed the frozen hill that hid from him the source of that sweet voice and there atop the hill beheld a Mexican maiden of radiant beauty.
