Prayer to Blessed Juan Diego

Blessed Juan, 
you faced the skepticism and rejection of a bishop and the crowds 
to bring Mary's message to Mexico. 
Pray for us that when we are faced with obstacles to our faith 
so we may show that same courage and commitment.

Amen.


You who were chosen by Our Lady of Guadalupe 
as an instrument to show your people and the world 
that the way of Christianity is one of love, 
compassion, understanding, values, sacrificies, 
repentance of our sins, 
appreciation and respect for God's creation, 
and most of all one of humility and obedience. 
You who we know is now in the Kingdom of the Lord 
and close to our Mother, 
be our angel and protect us, 
stay with us as we struggle in this modern life 
not knowing most of the time where to set our priorities. 
Help us to pray to our God to obtain the gifts of the Holy Spirit 
and use them for the good of humanity 
and the good of our Church, 
through the Heart of Our Lady of Guadalupe 
to the Heart of Jesus.

Amen.
