NICAN MOPOHUA: THE FLOWERS
122. And when Juan Diego heard the lovely word, the lovely breath of the Queen of Heaven, he was greatly comforted by it, his heart became peaceful. .
123. and he begged her to send him immediately to see the Governing Bishop, to take him something for a sign, for proof so that he would believe. .
124. And the Queen of Heaven ordered him then to go to the top of the little hill, where he had seen her before: .
125. She said to him: "GO UP, MY DEAREST SON, TO THE TOP OF THE HILL, TO WHERE YOU SAW ME AND I TOLD YOU WHAT TO DO; .
126. THERE YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS OF FLOWERS: CUT THEM, GATHER THEM, PUT THEM ALL TOGETHER; THEN COME DOWN HERE; BRING THEM HERE, INTO MY PRESENCE." .
127. Juan Diego climbed to the top the top of the hill right away. 128 and when he reached the top, he was astonished by all of them, blooming, open, flowers of every kind, lovely and beautiful, when it still was not their season: .
129. because really that was the season n which the frost was very harsh: .
130. they were giving off an extremely soft fragrance; like precious pearls, as if filled with the dew of the night. .
131. Then he began to cut them, he gathered them all, he put them in the hollow of his tilma. .
132. The top of the little hill was certainly not a place in which any flowers grew; there are only plenty of rocks, thorns, spines, prickly pears and mesquite trees, .
133. And even though some little herbs or grasses might grow, it was then the month of December, in which the frost eats everything up and destroys it. .
134. And immediately he came back down, he came to bring the Heavenly Maiden the different kinds of flowers which he had gone up to cut. .
135. And when she saw them, she took them with her precious hands; .
136. Then she put them all together into the hollow of his ayate again and said: .
137. "MY YOUNGEST AND DEAREST SON, THESE DIFFERENT KINDS OF FLOWERS ARE THE PROOF, THE SIGN THAT YOU WILL TAKE TO THE BISHOP;
138. YOU WILL TELL HIM FROM ME THA HE IS TO SEE IN THEM MY DESIRE, AND THAT THEREFORE HE IS TO CARRY OUT MY WISH, MY WILL.
139. AND YOU, YOU WHO ARE MY MESSENGER, IN YOU I PLACE MY ABSOLUTE TRUST;
140. AND I STRICTLY ORDER YOU THAT YOU ONLY OPEN YOUR AYATE ALONE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE BISHOP, AND SHOW HIM WHAT YOU ARE CARRYING.
141. AND YOU WILL TELL HIM EVERYTHING EXACTLY, YOU WILL TELL HIM THAT I ORDERED YOU TO CLIMB TO THE TOP OF THE LITTLE HILL TO CUT FLOWERS, AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU SAW AND ADMIRED
142. SO THAT YOU CAN CONVINCE THE GOVERNING PRIEST, SO THAT HE WILL THEN DO WHAT LIES WITHIN HIS RESPONSIBILITY SO THAT MY TEMPLE WHICH I HAVE ASKED HIM FOR WILL BE MADE, WILL BE RAISED."
143. And as soon as the Heavenly Queen gave him her orders, he took the causeway, he comes straight to Mexico City, he comes happily now.
144. His heart is tranquil now, because his errand will come out well, he will carry it our perfectly.
145. Along the way, he is very careful of what is in the hollow of his garment, lest he lose something.
146. As he comes, he enjoys the fragrance of the different kinds of exquisite flowers.
