“I am a nobody, I am a small rope, a tiny ladder, the tail end, a leaf.”

                   -St. Juan Diego to The Blessed Virgin

For Reflection:

St. Juan Diego, who describes himself as a “nobody,” a “small rope,” a “tiny ladder,” the “tail end,” a “leaf,” was the instrument Our Lady chose to join her in one of the greatest moments in Christian evangelization. How do I describe myself? Am I too big to work with Our Lady? How can I exercise the virtue of humility to become smaller? (Hint: See the next two Gracelines for some examples.)
