Oh, ever faithful God, today on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, I ask for the grace to be as humble as Mary and St. Juan Diego werei n responding to Your will. Like them, I desire to be as humble as they were and simply do Your will. Help me to overcome any obstacles, especially rejection or my fears, or out of pride, that would keep me from doing Your will in my life. Allow me, like Our Lady and San Diego, to not stop fulfilling Your plans. Keep me responding as they did with a heartfelt “yes.” Amen.


Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for me.
