Lord of Villaseca, thank you for the time of studying, that you’ve given me a degree, and for giving health to me and all my family, and for supporting me in my studies.

Lord of Villaseca, I beg you, from the heart, to enlighten me and to keep giving me strength to move forward. I ask you, please, take care and look after my whole family. Thank you, Lord of Villaseca.

I bet my life in a cock-fight. Thank you, Virgin, I won and saved myself.

My family and I crossed over into Arizona to meet up with my husband in Phoenix where he lived and worked. We ran out of water in one day and stopped at some ruins near Arivaca to rest. We were very sick from dehydration. Suddenly an old truck appeared out of nowhere. A man with blue eyes got out and gave us some water jugs and plastic bags of food. He told us the best road to take to Tucson and where to find help in our journey. I thank Saint Toribio for helping us survive our journey.

I give infinite thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe because my mom taught me to make traditional dolls Marias, or Mazahuas. By selling them I could support my kids, and I’m very proud that the people who buy them take a part of my culture with each doll.

I thank God for I got a job in a circus after being fired from the police because of my old age. Nobody wanted me, and here they love me so much.

I’m a terrible cook. That’s why my mama used to say I’d never get married. But thanks to Saint Paschal I found a husband who cooks marvelously. He adores cooking, and it is his passion. He prepares delicious dishes for me and our kids. I thank Saint Paschal, the patron of cooks.

Lord Jesus of the heaven, my mommy told me I got to ask you to forgive me because the other day she caught me stroking my cock in my room in front of your holy cross and you got very angry with me. She said I lack respect to you, but it’s not true because I didn’t see that you could see me from your cross. Please forgive me, Christ Jesus, and I won’t touch myself in front of you ever again.

I thank the Virgin of Zapopan because I can support, feed and even sometimes spoil my cats. And they give me their love and keep me company.

I thank the pious John Paul because, when I was accused by some demons in some horrible sins, I entrusted myself to him and nothing happened to me.

Marcial

Notes:
Marcial Maciel was a Mexican Catholic priest who was involved in a scandal with accusations that he had sexually abused many minors and fathered a total of six children by three different women. He was close to Pope John Paul II, and Vatican chose not to prosecute Maciel. However, the next pope Benedict XVI forced him to retire from active ministry.

Pancho Moreno brings this retablo to the Miraculous Holy Heart of Jesus which I thank for letting me stay with the smoking hot Nina and, despite COVID-19, dine this Goddess out which I never forget. Uuuiiii!

We were very much worried because my wife Rebecca who was pregnant felt pain in her belly. We wholeheartedly thank Saint Raymond Nonnatus because after four weeks in the hospital, despite being born a month earlier, our little Charlie Benjamin Ruedin was healthy, happy and beautiful, and everything went very well.

Two handsome men moved in our building. But then we found out that they turn into horrible vampires at night and fly out of the window to sate their thirst with young girls. My boyfriend and I thank the Virgin of San Juan for we aren’t two juicy chicks.
