A man of 20 in Queretaro, Mexico,
a drug addict named Juan José Barragán Silva,
was having a quarrel with his mother,
Esperanza, and threatening to commit suicide.

He stabbed himself and then tried to

She grabbed his feet but could not hold on.

hurl himself off a building.
She grabbed his feet but could not hold on.
The man fell almost 40 feet directly on his head
(at a 70-degree angle, the records say),
hitting pavement.
As he fell the mother prayed to
Juan Diego and Our Lady,
“Give me a proof . . . save this son of mine!
And you, my Mother
listen to Juan Diego.”
He was rushed to Durango hospital
with a broken skull and crushed vertebrae,
on the point of death.
Yet his body inexplicably and spontaneously healed.
He walked out the hospital,
healthy, three days later.
His fall, and the mother’s prayer,
took place on May 6, 1990,
at the very time when Pope John Paul II
was celebrating the Mass of beatification
of Juan Diego in the shrine
of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City.
An extraordinary miracle, too good to be true?
Yes, but true.
