Lidia Castro was very proud of her vegetable-garden, but one day it was flooded with rabbits. They ate the vegetables. Lidia tried to scare them away, but no luck. In despair, she prayed Saint Barbara. The Saint scared the rabbits and they didn’t come back.

We thank this Holy Heart for the opportunity of meeting each other. We live as a couple and do not hide it from the society. Today we are celebrating one year of our happy relationship.

I was desperate because, since I didn’t know how to cook, all my dishes turned out very bad. I ask Saint Paschal Baylon for help, and now my husband is very happy. He even bought me a lot of pans and pots. My food is very delicious now, and I thank for that.

M. R. and J. A, were fucking in the cemetery, and suddenly they were attacked by skeletons. They thank Saint Charbel with this retablo for they managed to escape. They promise to be more respectful.

On a trip to Mexico, I met a wonderful man, and I married him. The problems started when he asked me to cook for him. I didn’t know how to cook Mexican dishes. So I entrusted myself to Saint Paschal Baylon, with all my faith. Step by step, with his help, I learned how to prepare mole, tacos, chalupas, chile en nogada and tamales. Now my husband is very happy.
