I am the Mother of Ipalnemohuani (III)

On Sunday, December 10th, after attending mass, Juan Diego returned to the bishop's residence and after much effort, managed to see him. The bishop was surprised by his insistence and asked him many questions. Then he said that Juan Diego's word and message were not enough and that some other sign was necessary if he was actually to believe that Juan Diego was sent by the Queen of Heaven. So Juan Diego went back to the Blessed Virgin and told her the bishop's answer. She replied, "That's just fine, my dear son, you will go back there tomorrow and bring the bishop the sign he requested. Then he will believe you and he will not have any doubts or suspicions about you anymore. And please know, my dear son that I will reward you for the hard work and sorrows that you have put into this for me. So, go now, I will be waiting for you here tomorrow." The Lady from Heaven had asked Juan Diego to return the next day, but he did not obey her because his uncle was very ill, on the verge of death. During the night, his uncle asked him to fetch a priest to confess him before dying. So he left the house taking another path in order to avoid letting the Blessed Virgin notice that he was doing something else rather than going back to see the bishop.
