4,000 days of prayer: A man’s journey out of Chicago street violence to a trucking convoy honoring the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Juan Romero wrote an essay from his prison cell, reflecting on how he ended up in a life of gangs and violence in Chicago, and the difficulty of escaping that lifestyle. He was first arrested in his early teens and later imprisoned for attempted murder. Thanks to prayer, he finally found the strength to change his ways. Last week, he joined a convoy of truckers to visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Des Plaines, where he celebrates the feast day every December. Since his release from prison, Romero has found work and has been able to support his family. He credits Jose Ramirez and Maria Vargas, who hired him as a truck driver despite his criminal record, with giving him a second chance. Vargas also organizes the annual pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, which Romero has been a part of for several years. This year, it’s a plea for help as high diesel prices and reduced workloads have made life difficult for many drivers.
