Day 6: Comission and Commitment

Today we reflect on humility through obedience, focusing on the Virgin Mary's clear instruction to Juan Diego to present her request for a sacred house to the bishop (verses 33-38). Mary, not seeking her own glory, invites the humble Juan Diego to participate in a great mission, which he accepts immediately, recognizing himself as her "humble servant." The reflection challenges the modern view of obedience as servile, presenting Christian obedience as a costly but rewarding virtue—a deliberate choice to follow a will greater than one's own, as Christ modeled in Gethsemane. The spiritual takeaway is that "little obediences"—small, daily acts of yielding one's will to another—are what prepare the soul for the great and costly commitments God may ask of us later. The invitation is to seek out a circumstance today to deliberately obey someone, practicing this virtue in small ways.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
