Doña Marianna, the Dulce Maria Torres’ mother-in-law, used to fell into a rage quite often. She became literally devil-possessed. Father Luis recommended to Dulce to add some holy water in her mother-in-law’s tea and to pray to the Virgin. She thanks the Virgin of the Rosary because her mother-in-law changed.

My angora cat was very beautiful and delicate. So I had to chase all the stray cats that surrounded her away from her with broom. I didn’t want her to have kittens with these dirty ugly creatures. I give thanks to the Virgin of San Juan because doña Leti, my neighbor, was given a very beautiful male cat, and my kitty had a lot of cute furry kittens with him.

A rare disease was killing pigs in our parts. Thanks to the fact that we gave to drink holy water to our pigs, they got cured and now they are healthy. We offer this retablo to the Virgin of Zapopan for that miracle.

The Medina Rodriguez family

When my husband got retired, he started to cook in order to spend his free time. He cooked so terribly, that we all had a stomach-ache. I was scared that he’d poison all of us. Thanks to Saint Paschal, he got bored with cooking and dedicated himself to gardening.

Laura and Catalina Peña were in a bad financial position. So, since they were good pastry cooks, they had an idea of selling cakes. They thank St. Paschal Baylon, a patron saint of cooks, because now they make enough money to support themselves and even to save something for hard times and also for having fun sometimes.

The Sandra Gonzalez’ cellar was filled with big, fat rats. Sandra had a cat, but he was fussy and good-for-nothing. She desperately prayed to the Virgin of San Juan for help. Three days later the rats miraculously disappeared without biting anyone.

I thank St. Anthony because I married a widower, a father of four children. So now I have four kids without going through the horrors of giving birth, the sufferings I scared so much. I thank for this instant family. I loved them very much.

Marcelita Perez suffered from sleepiness and regularly fell asleep. Her mother, doña Carmen, was ashamed of that and also afraid that her daughter wouldn’t get married. She prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan, and Marcelita was healed.

15 November 1950, Antonieta Lopez was on the verge of a nervous breakdown when, thanks to the Virgin of San Juan, her sister arrived from the capital. She took care of the house, the kids and the husband, and Antonieta could rest peacefully.

Margarita Reyos Campos had an acute appendicitis attack while being in school. Her sister Rosalia prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan for looking after Margarita and protecting her during the surgery. She thanks the Virgin for saving her sister.

When my son Juan’s horse died I couldn’t imagine he’d grieve so deeply. He climbed on the stable roof and refused to come down to eat and to sleep. Thanks to the Virgin of Zapopan his godfather Carlos gave him a colt. My boy became happy again and started to eat. I offer this retablo to the Virgin.

Manuel Rodríguez was very shy. So he prayed to San Antonio for giving him the courage to ask the woman that he loved to marry him. But it was her who propose him because she was a very determined woman. Manuel thanks San Antonio for blessing their marriage. And although he is a man of few words, his wife speaks for both of them.

Our cupboard was invaded by rats. And our cat became so lazy that he didn’t catch them and slept all day long. I prayed a novena to the Virgin of San Juan because I was frightened that rats could bite us and eat all our food. The Virgin were kind enough and work a miracle. All rats disappeared exactly in the last day of my prayers. I thank for this.
