Saint of the Day

On the day of 9 December

Of Saint Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin, of a family of native Indians, a man gifted with the purest faith, who, through his humility and fervor, brought it to pass that a sanctuary in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built on Tepeyac Hill near Mexico City where she appeared to him and he fell asleep in the Lord.
