Lord of the Miracles, I offer you this retablo so you’d protect my grandson from rats and not let them bite him when he stays at home alone because my daughter goes to work. I came to visit them and found my grandson crying. I scared the rats away. They didn’t hurt him, and I will be always grateful for that.

Since my kids moved out I felt very lonely. One day a stray puppy came to my door. I took him, and then I felt so happy. I thank saint Francis for now I have seven dogs. They keep me company and protect the house.

I dedicate this retablo a Saint Charbel thanking him for the creation of Batman. Since I was a kid he has been my favorite superhero. And despite being created 80 years ago, he is still a such interesting character that he still holds up and is beloved by many generations of fans.

I thank the Virgin of Juquila with this retablo because she didn’t leave me when I so needed her. I was going to close my shop, because of lack of clients. But one day a deputy came to my shop and asked for a haircut. He was so pleased with it that he recommended me to his family and the friend from high society. And my life changed.

I was participating in the quebradita contest with my group. When my partner lifted me up for the final pose, my pants cracked really bad. I was really scared that because of me all my partners were going to be disqualified by the judges. I thank Saint Juan Bosco for the judges didn’t notice this embarrassing moment and we won the first prize.

I liked my master a lot but kept it in a secret because he was married. One night there were only two of us and I confessed to him. He responded to me, and we spent a passionate night, without protection. I was afraid of possible consequences and prayed to Saint Bruno. The saint worked the miracle and I didn’t get pregnant. Otherwise the mistress would have been furious and would have fired me. I bring this humble retablo.

I found a baby devil, and, with a lot of love, I made him good. Thank you Virgin.

When Lisa started dating a doctor of sciences, she was very concerned about his obvious intellectual superiority. But then it turned out that he likes to play the hare and the hunter in bed, and it quickly harmonized their relationship. Lisa is grateful to the universe for the fact that all people are born equal, free, and a little bit fucked-up.
