Every night I had a dream that my cat goes to the Moon and I have to climb a very very high ladder to get him back. The worst part was that I woke up so tired and with such a horrible pain in legs like I was really climbed to the Moon. I thank the Holy Spirit for giving me an idea to take my cat to sleep with me in the bed. The bed is much more comfortable and warmer than the Moon. Now I don’t see this dream about my cat on the Moon anymore.

Our Lady of the Solitude, I’m going to give you thanks for sending me the cure which I asked you for so much finding myself in such a horrible trouble when I was told they were going to cut off my tit because of a torturing pain. In this grief, I entrusted myself to you and was cured in time avoiding this dangerous surgery. Now I’m healthy again and back to work.

Holy Trinity! Divine Providence! I humbly ask you, with this retablo, to find the cure for the COVID-19 and therefore stop this terrible pandemic that affected the entire world. I ask you for health to all the people sick with this virus and for eternal peace to those who died.

A strange plant began to grow in my garden. Since it was beautiful, I let it grow. But it grew and grew, and one day it put the stems in the window and tried to catch me and my kids. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan because I had a coffeepot in my hand. I sloshed the hot coffee on the plant, and it let me free and went away. I called my husband, and he cut this plant by the roots. I thank the Virgin because we didn’t end up as a meal in the stomach of the plant.

The pig I was going to kill for the feast chased me. Thanks for he didn’t catch me.

B. S. liked when his lover put a cowgirl costume on and rode him. He gives infinite thanks to Saint Charbel with this retablo because she fulfills his fetish and they are even going to get married.

Leonorilda Gonzalez suffered a lot because when she ate cereal or starchy she couldn’t stop farting. She implored Saint Paschal Baylon and, after many prayers, got cured. She thanks for the favor with this retablo.

I’m gay but my family doesn’t know about it because they wouldn’t understand me. I even get a girlfriend so they wouldn’t suspect anything. But she insisted on intimacy. So one night I was going to try it but at the end couldn’t do it. I’m infinitely thankful to Saint Sebastian because she didn’t get angry and we remained good and confident friends. She promised me to not reveal my secret.

Some crocodiles came from the river to my kitchen. They were very happy staying there. I had no idea how to chase them away. I couldn’t cook beaqcuse I was afraid they bite my leg off. I prayed Saint Paschal Baylon to help me get my kitchen back. He blessed my broom that right away seemed shining. I knew it was a miracle, so I got on a stool and began to swipe the crocodiles out. The blessed power of my broom scared them a lot, and they went away. I give thanks.

I give thanks to Saint Sebastian for giving me the opportunity to realize my fantasy.
