Can you overcome your fear and doubt to cooperate with God's grace?
St. Juan Diego did. He was beatified in 2002 - a simple man who was baptized at the age of 50 and who worked the land, walking three to four miles to church every weekend. He saw an apparition on one of those long walks and eventually moved into a room off of the chapel, spreading the word to other Mexicans.
He is known as the Saint of Humility.
When he first told the bishop about his apparition, the bishop did not even believe him. What an unlikely candidate Juan Diego was - in the eyes of the world. But he listened to God's call and, through God's grace, did many good works.
