My daughter Juanita tried to save a cat who fell in the well and stuck at a bump, but almost fell down as well. Only thanks to the Virgin of the Rosary’s protection her dress caught a nail. Her sister Marta managed to grab her and cried for help. I thank for that.

The jealousy devil used to watch me with my fiancé and made so we were constantly fighting. One day we were about to quarrel when my dog began to growl and bark. The we saw the devil with our own eyes. The dog ran after him and bit his tail. After that incident the devil wouldn’t come back, and we have been living very happily ever since. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe.

I thank Saint Martin de Porres for getting out of jail. The master accused me of stealing a cow from the ranch. But it wasn’t me, it was another man. And now they have caught him.

Dr. Guillermo Castillo M. was going to Mexico City and saw some small men at the height of Llano Grande. They were going to the trees. Doctor stopped and watched them. They were around 1 meter height and had big heads. It wasn’t a big surprise that they turned out to be aliens. They went to their UFO and flew away to the volcanos. Guillermo thanks Saint Michael the Archangel and offers this retablo as the testimony.

We thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for surviving the earthquake that shook Mexico City the morning of September 19. The roof of our house fell on me and my family. The neighbors got us out. When I came back to my senses I began to pray to the Holy Virgin for my family. Now all of us give thanks for this miracle.

My fiancé went to work to the North. Some time later I stopped receiving his letters. I though he had forgiven about me. I was disappointed and angry. Thats why I accepted the marriage with Ramon Alcantara, although I didn’t love him at all. But on the day of the wedding, my old fiancee Fernando came riding horse, grabbed me and took me away. We got married in another town. Then I found out it was my brother who hid the Fernando’s letters because he disliked him. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan because my love came back to me right in time and I didn’t make such a horrible mistake.

Lord of Chalma, thank you because my wife with my kids have returned to me. She left me because I used to get drunk, to spend all days in the bar and to beat her and kids, when I came home. When I was all alone, as a dog, I realized I couldn’t live without them. I stopped drinking and begged her with tears to come back. There have been 10 years without me drinking.
