We see once again how Heaven chooses the most humble. What's interesting is in all of these huge apparitions Mary appears to the laity who have simplicity and humility. Juan Diego was a simple man of humble origin. Our Lady gave us this encouragement through him:
"My little son. Do not be distressed and afraid.
Am I not here who am your Mother?
Are you not under my shadow and protection?
Am I not the fountain of your joy?
Are you not in the fold of my mantle, in the cradle of my arms?"
