Rogelio Narvaez worked at a musical instruments store. He thanks Saint Martin the Cavalryman for he sold three grand pianos in one day and got a very nice commission for it.

I’m thanking, with all my heart, the Virgin of Juquila for keeping our family tradition of knitting. My mother and grand-mother were weavers and they taught me since I was little girl. Now my serapes, huipils and rebozos are most valued among the foreign tourists who buy them.

December 23, finding myself in doubt about continuing my career as an artist, I decided to make a video with one of my performances. I asked the Virgin for the video being successful so I’d have more confidence. The video had more than 50.000 views, and I was very happy. Thank you, Virgin. I love you.

When I was fishing one night, my boat started to sink. The sea was filled with sharks. I was scared and began to pray the Blessed Sacrament for help. They made the miracle and send me a giant bird which pulled me out of the water before I was attacked by the sharks. I thank the Blessed Sacrament.

Enrique R. hit a cow on the road. He thanks Saint Maroun with this retablo for protecting him and saving his life, although the car was totally destroyed.

One night I camped on the mountain. Then some extraterrestrials appeared. First I was scared, but then I felt calm and peace. Meanwhile, the martians were running across the forest looking for plants. When they were gone, the fear came back to me and I ran out of there to the tavern in the nearest village. I thank the Virgin of San Juan for the extraterrestrials didn’t abduct me.

I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for the miracle of delivering my son from that woman of easy virtue. He fell in love and was going mad. Seeing him in such state, I prayed you for him, and you worked the miracle.

The former landowner noticed us one day that she had sold the building and was very sorry that we would be moved out and would have no place to live. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank Saint James the Apostle because the new owner turned out to be a good person and he let us live with a fair rent. He even offered me a doorman job and arranged a nice party for us.

When food was going scarce in our village, an amazing miracle happened. Fish began to appear in the Melquiades Alcantara’s well. And a lot of fish. We thank Saint Francis for his infinite kindness and this marvelous gift. Now we all have food in abundance.
