The three are Juan Diego, the Indian who saw the Virgin of Guadalupe in 1531; Josmaria Escriva de Balaguer, The Spaniard who founded Opus Dei; and Padre Pio, The Italian monk who has an enormous following in Italy and elsewhere.

Glenn, this week in PSR, You have some very good news to follow up on Juan Diego with for the children.

God Bless You.

WOW!
Thanks for the triple good news -- about soon-to-be St. Juan Diego, St. Josemaria, and St. Pio.
"Felicitaciones" to Enrique and his compatriots, fellow countrymen of Juan Diego.

David S,

You have a very good memory. Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately because I seriously need to rejoice in Mass the next few weeks and after PSR it is a chore - I'll explain if you want), we are on break till January.

Thanks for the good news.

Thank very much for the congratulations, John. It is a cause for great joy and thanksgiving to see Juan Diego canonized.

For those of you that read Spanish look this page up:

To Humble Juan Diego You who were chosen by Our Lady of Guadalupe as an instrument to show your people and the world that the way of Christianity is one of love, compassion, understanding, values, sacrificies, repentance of our sins, appreciation and respect for God's creation, and most of all one of HUMILITY and obedience. You who we know is now in the Kingdom of the Lord and close to our Mother, be our angel and protect us, stay with us as we struggle in this modern life not knowing most of the time where to set our priorities. Help us to pray to our God to obtain the gifts of the Holy Spirit and use them for the good of humanity and the good of our Church, through the Heart of Our Lady of Guadalupe to the Heart of Jesus.

Amen

Pida que un Santo ruegue para usted Al Humilde Juan Diego Tú que fuiste elegido por Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe como instrumento para mostrar a tu gente y al mundo que el camino de Cristiandad es uno de amor, compasión, comprensión, valores, sacrificios, arrepentimiento de nuestros pecados, aprecio y respeto por la creación de Dios, y por sobre todo uno de HUMILDAD y obediencia. Tú, quien nosotros sabemos estás ahora en el Reino de nuestro Señor y cerca de nuestra Madre, sé nuestro angel y protégenos, quédate con nosotros mientras batallamos en esta vida moderna sin saber, la mayor parte del tiempo, donde fijar nuestras prioridades. Ayúdanos a orar a nuestro Dios para obtener los dones del Espíritu Santo y usarlos para el bien de la humanidad y el bien de nuestra Iglesia, a través del Corazón de nuestra Señora de Guadalupe al Corazón de Jesús. Amén
