In three days the Catholic Church will mark the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Americas. Today, however, the church celebrates an important figure in her veneration: Juan Diego, Indian peasant, Mary’s messenger, and first indigenous American saint. During this program, hosts Laurie Power and Pete Sanchez will unpack the life of this man, his miraculous encounters with the Virgin on Mexico’s Tepeyac Hill, and discuss how Mary can use the meekest of God’s children to build up the kingdom
