As soon as She heard Juan Diego’s words, the Merciful Perfect Virgin answered him: "Listen, put it into your heart, my youngest son, that what frightened you, what afflicted you is nothing. Do not let it disturb your face, your heart. Do not fear this sickness of your uncle or any other sickness, nor any sharp or harmful thing. Am I not here, I, who have the honor to be your Mother? Are you not in my shadow and protection? Am I not the source of your joy? Are you not in the hollow of my mantle, in the crossing of my arms? Do you need anything more? Let nothing else worry you, disturb you; do not grieve over your uncle's illness, because he will not die of it for now. You may be certain that he is already healed."
