When I’m overcome with the sadness or some problems, I have a perfect solution. I fly with night birds and bats at night, trying to reach the moon. I glide with the wind and merge with the night. I thank the Holy Spirit for teaching me how to fly and how to leave the problems behind.

I was very fat, and my cousins told me that I’d never get married. But I prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan, and thanks to her Antonio began to pay me attention. We are going to get married shortly after our engagement, because he’s telling I’m the prettiest girl in the town. And I believe him.

After having a very high fever, my husband imagined himself as a superhero from comics. He tried to fly to save the world. I was afraid he’d going to kill himself and I prayed to Saint Peter Martyr. Saint patron of the lunatics, thank you for my husband is back to reason so I don’t have to run after him to the roofs to stop him from flying. Although when he becomes very affectionate at night, he enjoys putting his superhero costume on.

I thank Saint Barbara for giving me the courage to leave my husband. He treated me and our kids badly, so I came back to my home town where I will live happily with my family and my old friends.

After the wedding ceremony my fiancé and I ran to the beach. There we took off our shoes and celebrated the beginning of our life together. Then we took a horse and came back to the party. All the old ladies looked at us with reproach but we didn’t care bakes nothing could darken our illimitable happiness.

One night my husband Filemon began snoring, and he snored ever since. I couldn’t sleep because of his noisy concert, and I even started thinking about the divorce. But then I prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan, who saved my marriage because suddenly Filemon stopped snoring.

Higinio Muñez was sad and drank a lot. He had a lot of nightmares and when he woke up he found himself in a deep pit filled with thorns. He couldn’t get out, but thanks to his prayers to Saint Helen for help, the saint brought his uncle who took Higinio out. Hygienic thanks for this miracle.

One day I forgot to lock the cage, and the canaries flew out. I was scared that my cat ate them or they flew away in the window. Fortunately, the cat didn’t eat them. The birds didn’t go away and were flying around the room and the cat was staring at them smiling. Then they came back to the cage. Now I leave the cage open so they could fly a little when they want to. I thank Saint Francis for this incredible miracle.

Felipe R. decided to kill himself because nobody understood him. He threw himself into the lake. But one guy saved him. It was a great miracle of the Virgin of San Juan, because this guy became to Felipe love of his life. Felipe gives thanks with this retablo.

July 21, 1959

My husband Tomas smoked marijuana, didn’t work and didn’t pay me any attention. So I prayed to Saint Barbara and she gave me enough courage to give him an ultimatum. It worked—now he’s working.

May 15, 1968

July 30, 1958, the devil got inside my body, and I was going to kill my husband with the kitchen knife. But the Virgin of Zapopan held my arm from doing such a thing. I give thanks.

My wife became a real threat when she drove. Every time she got in the car I prayed the Virgin of Guadalupe so that she’d protect her and other people. However, June 23, 1967, she hit a jelly vendor. Thank to the Virgin he didn’t get hurt and my wife had only to pay for the jelly.

Antonio Mendoza was walking and selling sweets in order to cover his family’s expenses. One day a furious mad woman answered the door and started to chase him with a knife. He thanks the Virgin of Zapopan because she was just about a few inches from him trying to kill him. He was able to escape from that madwoman, with great difficulty, and to save his own life.
