We thank Saint Anthony because he gave us enough for allowing us to live in love without any worries. We never lack food on our table, and we have a nice little house that shelters our great love. Also we have a beautiful family and many good friends. We couldn’t ask for more.

Rosalinda Moreno was hit by a car when she was going out of the school. She was hit pretty bad and was taken to the hospital. Her mother, señora Elena, gives thanks to the Virgin of San Juan de los Lagos because her daughter’s injuries weren’t too serious.

I was very irritable and quick-tempered. I argued and shouted, and it upset my husband. Therefore my marriage was under threat. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan who gave me the idea of channeling my anger into a pair of knitting needles. Now when I feel that I’m getting angry, I run and grab the knitting and knit furiously. I’ve already knitted sweaters and scarves for the whole family and even for our cats and dog, and I’m still knitting. Now, thanks to this, I can almost always be sweet with my husband and my family.

My son was enchanted by a mermaid. Since he was young, he didn’t realize all the danger. He was always in hurry to swim to her and didn’t listen my advices. So I entrusted him to Saint Barbara. The Saint made him realize what he was doing, so he came back to reality. He left the mermaid [...]

We went to the town to sell our animals. On our way a big eagle appeared to us. It wanted to eat our animals. So we asked the Virgin of San Juan for protection and for her intervention right away. The Virgin made us this favor. She scared the bird away, and then we arrived to the town and sold the animals on the market. And on our way back home we didn’t meet the eagle either.

My daughters were playing hide and seek and got lost in the burnt forest. They were afraid because everything around was back and dead. But suddenly hundreds butterflies appeared and began to fly around my daughters. The girls followed them and got out the forest. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan for this miracle.

I was driving a bus when the brakes broke down. The bus was going to fall of the cliff, but thanks to the Virgin of San Juan I hit a tree, that kept the bus from falling. I dedicate the retablo for that.

My twins sons are restless children. July 3, they ran from me and went riding the Jose Padilla’s red horse. It was a stubborn animal and it threw the children in a place full of rocks. I thank the Virgin, because miraculously my sons didn’t fall on the rocks.

I thank Saint Paschal for his favor that I received right on this humble kitchen. I never was a good cook. But when I got married my husband said that he really didn’t care about it. However, some time later he started to go to eat at his mother’s house. I stayed at home alone, and I was afraid of losing him. I prayed to Saint Paschal for help. He worked a miracle and made my food taste good. Now my husband never misses a dinner at home and he even boasts about my cooking. I thank for that.

I was very fat, and my cousins kept telling me that I wouldn’t get married with such weight. But I didn’t lose my faith in the Holy Virgin, and thanks to her one of the most handsome guys fell in love with me, and I with him. After beautiful engagement, we got married. He thinks I’m the most beautiful woman in the whole world. We are very happy together, and a lot of love even helped me to lose some weight, but it really doesn’t matter to him.

Josefa Gutierrez went to the town to sell fruits. On the way there, her donkey got furious, because of a wasp sting, and threw Josefina off. She fell on the rocks and hit her had so badly that she saw how the death and the devil were approaching to her. But thanks to her angel guardian, who came and gave her few slaps, she recovered consciousness. The devil and the death had to leave with nothing. Josefina thanks for they remained disappointed.

My husband Celerino was a sleep-walker. He used to run out at night to dance naked in the field. I was afraid that somebody would see him. Also I was ashamed that the Virgin or the saints could see him nude. So I prayed to Saint Lucy, because she is blind and couldn’t possibly notice my husband’s nudity. She made a miracle, and now my Celerino sleeps at night and doesn’t run.

August 9, 1958

My conscience wasn’t so clear, but when one night I woke up and saw some little devils jumping around me, I prayed to the Virgin telling her that my sins weren’t so big that it would be a case for the devil. Nevertheless, I promised her to be a better person. Thanks to the Virgin I haven’t seen any devils since. And I behave better now.
