Day 5: What Do You Desire?
from Advent: Following the Path of Guadalupe and St. Juan Diego
We delves into the Virgin Mary's "precious will" as revealed to Juan Diego: her fervent desire for a "sacred little house" to be built so she may show and exalt her Son, the true God, making Him manifest and offering Him as a source of compassionate help and salvation (verses 25-32). The reflection focuses on obedience as a vital virtue for conversion, emphasizing that Jesus and Mary model a desire oriented not toward self-glory but toward the will of the Father and the greater good. In a world that prizes personal autonomy, the call to willingly desire what God wills—a path of active submission and carrying out the "errands of others"—is presented as the counter-cultural but true path to healing and complete happiness. The accompanying challenge is an exercise in "prescribed obedience," asking the listener to humbly request a difficult, yet virtuous, task from a loved one.Subscribe and share this podcast with your friends to walk with them on this powerful path of Guadalupe and St. Juan Diego!Podcast part of Juan Diego Network
