May 18, 2005, I was challenging Lopez the Puma in the national bantamweight title. In the 7th round, after a bloody fight, I threw a jab in his jaw and he fell down. Seeing that he wouldn’t get up and being happy with my triumph, I beg the Holy Virgin not to let any damage happen to him and she did so. I give thanks.

Camila Garcia was ordered to prepare a mole, but her kiddo lost two turkeys. She thanks Saint Paschal Baylon with this retablo for the turkeys were found, although she isn’t sure they are the ones.

Give me strength, Saint Jude, to get in a good shape with the exercise.

Tania M. infinitely thanks the Virgin of Guadalupe for enlighten her path and helping her to leave this brothel and to change her life. Now she’s a happy mother, and she dedicates this retablo with absolute devotion.

I, Mistico, the Prince of Silver and Gold, offer this retablo to the Virgin of Guadalupe because I was able to win the mask of the Black Warrior on Friday, September 29, 2006. I ask you to look after me and to bless me in whatever I do.

Having had few shots before, the torero Sebastian Morales found himself in danger of being overtaken by the bull. With all his faith, he entrusted himself to the Merciful Lord and ended well the bullfight. He thanks for that.

Huamantla, 1935

I came close to the edge of the cliff on my horse to feel the absolute freedom and to see the world at my feet. But the ground was soft and started to crumble. We, man and horse, fell down. By the miracle of Saint Barbara, the deadly trajectory of our fall got curved and we fell into the lake. We were so much lucky that nothing happened with us. We swam to the shore and saved ourselves.

I pray to the Virgin of Zapopan, please take good care of my cat because he likes to sleep in the garden and I’m afraid that one night the aliens will take him away.

We thank Saint Francis of Assisi for not letting our animal die at our ranch on that full moon night.

Very strange plants began to grow in the pots in my yard. They seemed exotic so I let them grow and even took care of them. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe because I noticed that the plants do good to my cats and, who knows, maybe to me as well.

Thank you, Virgin of Carmel, for no one at the wedding noticed that I’m on my seventh month of pregnancy.
