We wholeheartedly thank Saint Toribio Romo for helping my little brother and me to cross the border. We wanted to see our mother again, because few years ago she went to work in United States leaving us with our grandmother. Thanks to his divine mercy we survived the tough desert and can reunite with our mother again.

I, V. P., thank my guardian angel because I have talked on the phone with the sir Elton John himself!

Honorina Carrasco dedicates this retablo because when I entered the bathroom I found my old man in the bath with a martian gay and kicks him out with a stick.

Many thanks, Virgin of Guadalupe, for praying for us that our health wouldn’t fail. And thank you for protecting us from the COVID-19 pandemic. Please, we beg you to pray for us and for all those who have this illness. Amen.

I thank Saint Michael for not letting me assault my wife when I went on a drinking spree.

I was a cake man at my friends’ wedding. When it was my time to carry it I got so nervous that I stumbled and threw the cake. I give thanks to Saint Martin de Porres for it didn’t fall on the bride and they took the whole incident with humor, although I had to pay twice and went to buy another cake.

J. M. loved to dress up like a baby during the intimacy. He thanks Saint Maroun with this retablo for helping him to find a partner who likes to please his fetish.

I dedicate this retablo and entrust this precious woman to the Holy Cross. Although she was a whore, she gave her life for the cause of the Mexican revolution. She died brutally slaughtered but taking out many federals with her.

Marieta, don’t be flirty
Because men are very bad
They promise lots of gifts
And what they give are pure hits.

Chihuahua, 1912

Lalo The Crazy thanks the Virgin because I have finally recovered my mental health.

I finished my university studies as a lawyer. But few months passed by and I couldn’t find a job. Then I agreed to work as a clown at children parties because of my financial needs. I’m infinitely grateful to Saint Martin the Cavalryman because I’ve finally found a job I studied for, since my every encounter with mischievous and uneducated children was a nightmare.

My buddy Jasinto is a drunkard, party goer, gambler and womanizer. Holy Virgin make him behave well and deliver him from hell.

The day of my wedding was the happiest day of my life because I married a good man, hard-working and handsome. When we came out of the church we got on his horse and went to his ranch. The children waved to us and ran along. I give thanks to Saint Anthony for so much happiness.

Thanks, Saint Anthony, because I’ve found my second half. He’s little bit short but it doesn’t matter.
