Although blessed with multiple positions of substantial income, Juan recognized that he was called to live a simple life and left the comforts he enjoyed. In time he became a preacher whose honesty and passion for denouncing sin sometimes involved pointing out the vices of nobility, which made him many enemies. Even so, he was beloved among the common people and was seen as a peacemaker and advocate for honest workers.
