April 14, 1989, during a walk in the “La Primavera” forest, Guadalajara, I dared to confess my love to Richard Patiño. I thanks the Lord of the Miracles for my beloved accepted me.

I thank my guardian angel for warning my dad so he didn’t let me fall of a fourth-floor window, when I was crawling on the window sill.

One nice day, I took my boat and went fishing in open sea. Suddenly some mermaids appeared. These sexy damned creatures wanted to play with me. Or maybe I fell asleep from hunger and these were just my imagination. However, thanks to my prayers to the Virgin of Guadalupe, there were nobody around and everything was calm.

It was getting dark. I went with my wife Lupita in the field to scrape the agave and gather the maguey sap with the acocote. Suddenly we noticed a horrible animal with wings and long teeth. It wanted to attack us. We entrusted ourselves to the Holy Child of Atocha so that he would protect us. Thank God we managed to escape.

Thank you, God, for saving us from the chupacabra.

Acocote is a long gourd pointed at both ends, used in Mexico for extracting the nectar of the maguey.

Holy Mother of Guadalupe, I thank you from the bottom of my heart because I survived two surgeries, the one on August 24, 1948, and the other one on December 24, 1953.

I wasn’t a good person in the past year. I spread scandal rumors <…> One night many devils started to come out from under my bed <…> I thank the Virgin of the Solitude and promise to be a good person.

Ana Luisa Gutierrez was very ill and saw the death near her bed. She asked the Black Christ for mercy and saw how the crucifix over her started to glow. Suddenly came an angel sent by the Lord to stop the death. Day after she woke up in good health. She thanks for it.

I was selling birds when I noticed a string of cats following me. They wanted to eat my poor birdies. I asked the Virgin of Zapopan for help, and suddenly a dog appeared that chased the cats. I thank the Virgin for that.

Anastacio Sanchez

I thank God and San Anthony of Padua for sending me a fiancé. I thought I would stay an old maid forever. And when I expected nothing to happen I heard a serenade. It was Pedro Lopez, a boyfriend that I had before and who came back from USA. We got married and now we are very happy.

One warm evening I was swimming underwater on the beach in Ixtapa, Ziuatanejo. I was admiring the beauty of the sea when suddenly a shark started to chase me. And of course I saw the devil near by it. He told the shark to attack me. But I entrusted myself to the Virgin of Zapopan and managed to save myself.

Alberto Camacho became a widower. It hadn’t been a year when he got married again. But then his late first wife started to appear in the bedroom by nights. Alberto was scared and he prayed to the Virgin of San Juan so that she would make her soul rest in peace. The Virgin decided to help him, and the wife’s ghost never turned back again.
