"A friend, Jesus Alfredo Velasquez Ramirez saw the fall and said Juan Jose landed on his head on the concrete pavement. He rushed over to his friend and saw that he was bleeding profusely from his mouth, nose and ears. Neighbors assumed he was dead and covered him with a blanket.

However, Juan Jose suddenly sat up, rose, and went to meet his mother who was coming down the stairs to ask for her forgiveness."

This event, after the Church verified it as a miracle, made it possible for the Church to canonize Juan Diego, the Mexican peasant who saw the Virgin Mary at Guadalupe in 1531.

When he said he didn’t want to live any more and threw himself out of a window, his mother instantly prayed God and Mary, and invoked Juan Diego–“Give me a proof … save this son of mine! And you, my Mother, listen to Juan Diego.”
