June 15, 1968, I was buying vegetables at the market, when a crazy woman stole my baby. I was crying desperately and prayed to the Virgin of San Juan. I was lucky because two market women caught that crazy woman and brought my baby back. I thank the saint patroness.

My mother-in-law always criticized my food because she didn’t like me as a daughter-in-law. It was very difficult for me when we were eating. I was in such despair so I entrusted myself to Saint Paschal, and little by little she changed her attitude towards me. Now she even admits that I cook very well and we live and peace.

On the day of my wedding, I panicked and had serious doubts about my future. I didn’t want to go to the church, so my family tried to force me because they liked my husband-to-be so much. My little brother was particularly anxious to pull me out because he couldn’t wait to get my room. My mother literally dragged me to the church, and I thanks Saint Anthony for she did so. Now I’m very happy with my beloved husband. He treats me like a queen and loves me much as I love him.

Pancracio y Teofilo Castillo, the agave farmers, thank Saint Isidor Labourer for a great miracle of saving their agave plantation. Their plants were in danger because of a terrible plague, and they could lose everything. But now their agaves consider the best ones in the region.

The neighbor’s dogs came and eat up the dinner that I was preparing, while I went to answer the phone. I was very angry and I began kicking them out with a broom. But then I saw their hungry faces, and it touched my heart. Now I bring the leftovers to the patio so the dogs could eat, because my neighbor starves them.

I was very lonely by the vicissitudes of fate, and I felt totally forsaken. Then an angel began to visit me. He brought me consolation, and I gave him flowers. He brought me a light of hope […]

The Day of the Dead, in front of the tavern, some skeletons asked me to take them in my carriage for a romantic ride under the moonlight. Since I was pretty drunk and they offered me enough money, I agreed to take them. I thank the Virgin of San Juan for it didn’t occur to them to take me to their graves at the dawn.

I thought my husband snored a lot. I couldn’t stand this noise. But one day when my husband was away I heard the same snore. I looked under my bed in fear and found out it was a house demon who slept calmly and snored with all his might. I sprinkled some holy water under the bed, and the devil ran away frightened. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan because the devil didn’t come back. My husband is also grateful to the Virgin because he thought that it was me who snored.
