A devil took my bed in possession at nights. I had no means to get rid of him and slept badly on the sofa in the living-room. I was praying to Saint Michael the Archangel for help. He was late a little bit, but then he illuminated me. I got an idea to wet my broom with holy water and brandish it against the devil who ran away through the window from the blessed broom and never came back. I give thanks for taking my bed back.

Saint Jesus Malverde, I beg you for the miracle to put a nuclear bomb to the racist Trump and that fucking korean guy! in their asses!!

The other day my daughter introduced me her boyfriend, and I almost got a heart attack from fear because he looked like a goth, metalhead, punk or something like this. I definitely didn’t like that he’s going out with my daughter. I thanks Saint James the Apostle because after knowing him better I found out he is a good boy, hard-working and educated, and he loves my daughter. I promise not to judge people by their appearance.

Young man B. L. used to get excited by touching the feet of the lady clients of the shoe shop where he worked. His bosses noticed it and fired him. He thanks Saint James with the present retablo because he has overcome this obsession with professional help.

I want to thank the Brazilian spirits and, of course, the Virgin of Guadalupe for scaring the cancer away from my mother.

I’m thanking Saint John Bosco with this simple retablo because my girl friends don’t know my secret. They are so beautiful, and I lied them that I’m a gay to be near them. In this way I can stay with them all day, gawking at them, hugging them, and they don’t suspect that they attract me.

I’ve had a dream in which I was caught and yelled by the birds. I won’t be catching birds anymore.

I thank Saint Jude for curing my husband Mateo Benitez’ impotence because our relationship was in danger.

I dedicate this retablo to Saint Michael the Archangel for the movie “Aliens”. This film brought action and suspense to the outer space and has influenced the world since its release.

My husband bought an enormous kite for our little son Guancho. But since he’s so small when he tried to fly the kite the wind took up the kite but lifted him up of the ground as well. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan because she looks after my son, so the kite dragged him just for few meters, then he landed down. The boy wasn’t hurt, he was frightened and happy of having flown.

I got the flu with a very high temperature but after I ate my mom’s home made spaghetti, all symptoms went away. A miracle! Her cooking saved me from the sickness.

I give thanks to Saint Pancras with this retablo for meeting the painter Frida because she helped me to get free from my abusive pimp.

Holy Virgin, many thanks for the miracle you made for me—healing my son Pedrito from a pneumonia.
