I thank Saint Jude Thaddeus for my beautiful wife. I met her while wrestling. She always sat in the fist row and she was always very excited. Her support made me fight super good, and I always won. Afterwards I invited her to meet me, and then we got married.

My sons went to the movie to watch a movie with monsters and mummy without asking my permission. After the movie they were so scared, that when they were going through a dark alley they imagined that there was a mummy growling at them. But my Samuel took out his medallion of the Virgin of San Juan, and the mummy got scared. So the kids ran away, and this monster didn’t follow them. I thank the Virgin for protecting my sons.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank the Holy Child of Atocha for healing my right eye. I got injured it with nopal cactus thorn. Petra Muños, his wife, testified to that.

I’m thankful, because there were many very crazy people at a concert in Neza, and I didn’t know what to do. Then I entrusted myself to Baphomet. I turned up the volume and everything went very well.

On the night of November 2, 1982, my girlfriend Lupita and I went to a date to the cemetery, because my mother-in-law didn’t permit to Lupita to have suitors. We were alone chatting, when suddenly some skeletons appeared. They were dancing and playing some instruments. We got scared and promised not to come to the cemetery ever again. Thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe we didn’t get sick and we even get married. So now we’re happy.

I thank the miraculous Black Christ of Veracruz because I survived and didn’t lose my right hand when I was attacked by a shark while swimming in the open sea,

It was November 2. I went to the cemetery to visit my late friends. I was tired and fell asleep. To my surprise, when I awoke, I found myself surrounded by skeletons who were eating the offerings. I was scared and rushed out from the cemetery. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe.

I thank God for helping me to cure the sick animals that people bring to me. I always entrust myself to St. Anthony the Great, and thank to him I have patience to foster the sick.

Thank you, Virgin, for hearing my requests. I didn’t sleep by nights, because the devil kept appearing to me from the well.

On our honeymoon my wife Juanita and I were on the Acapulco beach. Suddenly a mermaid appeared. She fell in love with me. Out of jealousy she grabbed my wife’s hair and tried to drown her. But thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe I didn’t let her to do so.
