I climbed on the chair to get some spices. I lost my balance. I saw my baby sitting down on the floor. I prayed to the Virgin of San Juan and thanks to her I didn’t crush my baby nor the cat because I managed to spin myself in the air and fell near them.

I was hit by a bull during a bullfight. It left me wounded. I suffered so much, so I pray to Saint Michael the Archangel for healing me. Some time later I was recovered and went back to do what I enjoy the most—the world of the bullfighting. I give thanks.

My adorable cat went away and didn’t come home for a few days. I was desperately looking for him until I found him in a neighbor’s yard. He fell in love with a nice pussy cat, and he wasn’t pleased to see me — he didn’t even look at me. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan for an idea to adopt this kitty so my cat wouldn’t have to wander about in search of love.
