Miguel Hernández

My husband was a very happy man, and he filled my life with happiness. But he used to eat a lot, and it was a cause of his death. I was grieving so deeply, I was crying and praying to the Virgin of Zapopan to have pity on me and to let my husband visit me at night before I go to sleep. And my husband began to appear to me, all glowing. When he laughed, the shiny stardust fell from him. I thank the Virgin because my husband’s visits turned me back to life, and I’m happy again.

Some birds gave me food and kept me company in my shipwrecking. Thanks.

Pedro, 1971

My bicycle was a part of my life. But my wife wasn’t happy about me dedicating so many time to it. She even kicked the bicycle. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for my wife finally understood that, although I can’t live without my bicycle, I love her much more. She doesn’t get angry anymore.

A horde of naguals was passing by the field. I thank the Virgin for I didn’t go mad.

Regina was about to fall from the roof while playing with her kite, but you saved her from falling.

My daughter used to get sick a lot, and she didn’t have a lot of friends. I couldn’t see her so sad, so I prayed to the Virgin. My daughter began to read more, and now she’s happy in the world of books and fantasies. I thank the Virgin.

My son Arturo loved to play with the monkeys that lived near our house. But one day they took him to the roof. He was laughing and having fun, but I was afraid he could fall and brake his neck. I prayed to Saint Jude Thaddeus, and one monkey, probably seeing my anxiety, came down with my son and passed him into my arms. I thank the saint for this miracle.

When I discovered that my boyfriend is a nagual who can turn into different animals I got scared. I was about to leave him. I thank Saint Francis because he helped me to realize that being different doesn’t make a person better or worse but just different. When I suddenly understood it my boyfriend turned into a giant cat.

I managed to bring down the Luisito’s fever with cold water. Please take care of him, Saint Jude.
