April 30, 1935, a tragedy happened with the boy Pedrito. He went to feed the pigs, and one of them bit his arm. In danger of losing his arm, the boy implored the Virgin of Carmel. She had mercy on him and granted him healing. I testify about her miracle in gratitude.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. O glorious Archangel St. Michael, Prince of heavenly host, defend us in battle and in the struggle which is ours against the principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against spirits of evil in high places (Eph 6:12)

Enormous cockroaches invaded my kitchen. I was afraid that my little son Martin who put everything in his mouth would eat one of those. I tried to kill the cockroaches but they were too many and never end. They were coming and coming. I prayed the Holy Cross for help, and thanks to its divine intervention the cockroaches <…>

Dear Teresa Urrea, Santa de Cabora,
Though you healed thousands, influenced the course of Mexican revolution and the inevitable overthrow of Porfirio Diaz’ regime, you remained humble and maintained that you were just a normal person that wanted to help people. In these trying times, send your spirit and guidance to your people. Allow us to heal and create, as you did, by acknowledging the connection between all people and the value of all life. With thankfulness for your legacy of healing.
