My sons’ dog liked to go on trips with them. But because it is very fat and clumsy one day it stubbled and fell. We thank the Virgin of Zapopan because the boys saved the dog and the poor animal wasn’t hurt too much.

My son Arturo became a sleep-walker since his father had gone to work in Morelia. Arturo went opening drawers and closets and seeking and raking about. I was desperate, and I prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan, because I was afraid my son would become a real thief. The Virgin heard my prayers, and August 18, 1940, my husband came back home. And my boy got cured from his illness right away. I thank for that.

My dog was very hungry because with so many work to do I forgot to feed it. The animal pulled the mushroom soup on the floor and ate a lot of it. But afterwards it got sick. It seems there was a poisonous mushroom in the soup. I thanks Saint Paschal for the pet doctor gave serum and other medicine to the dog and saved the animal. Because I love this dog very much and it keeps my company.

At her saint’s day party Teresa Martine and her sister got acquainted with two handsome and formal men. Now they have become their fiancées. They thank the Virgin of San Juan for that.

My little sons were swimming in the river when suddenly came a giant toothy crocodile. I thank the Virgin because only by her infinite mercy the animal did nothing to them and I managed to get them out the river.

The kitchen was filled with bats. I was afraid that they were vampires and they would suck our blood. I prayed to the Virgin of San Juan for protection. Thanks to her these animals finally left our house. Although I think they bit our dog, thanks to the Holy Virgin it didn’t get rabies, nor did become a vampire-dog.

My fiancé and I give thanks to the Holy Sacrament because we got married and we are so enamored of each other. On the day of the wedding, we were so happy, that when we came out the church we started running and laughing, because the musicians we had hired followed us but they couldn’t play a tune and were making a lot of gestures.

My girlfriend’s parents didn’t like me visiting her. So I secretly started to climb a ladder to get to her balcony. But one night my mother-in-law accidentally pushed the ladder when she opened the kitchen window to scare some barking dogs away. I thank the Virgin of the Rosary, because my mother-in-law was smitten with remorse, and now, because of feelings of guilt, she let me visit my girlfriend whenever I want to.

A worker from the don Alejandro’s banana plantation was stung by a venomous snake. The doctor from the hacienda told that he had small chances to survive. But thanks to the prayers of Ana Luisa Hernandez, the wife of the worker, the Virgin of Zapopan saved his life.

My son Paco had a fever. He had hallucinations with skeletons that were flying around him. They laughed and wanted to take him with them. I was scared and I prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan, so she would bring down his temperature.Finally she heard my prayers. Paquito had no more fever and even started to eat. I give thanks to the Holy Virgin.

The evening of July 24, 1953, Antonio Ramos went swimming after eating too much. He had a congestion and started to drown. Thank to the Virgin of Zapopan he was saved in time by some fishermen. Now he is alright, and he thanks the Virgin.

Margarita Segura was a very depressive girl. So when she saw that her fiancé didn’t arrive on the day of the wedding, she ran and threw herself to the lake, from which she was saved by a fisherman, thanks to the Virgin of the Rosary. Afterwards, she found out that her fiancé didn’t mean to leave her, but had some serious troubles and couldn’t arrive in time. She thanks the Virgin for being saved for her own happiness.

My cousin and I discovered a place where the mermaids reunited. We noticed that they always returned over there to chat and play. So we had the idea to rent boats and bring tourists to look on the mermaids. Our business is going very well because everybody in the world wants to see such a wonderful show. And it seems we don’t bother the mermaids very much. We thank the Virgin of Zapopan for making us rich.
