One nice day, I took my boat and went fishing in open sea. Suddenly some mermaids appeared. These sexy damned creatures wanted to play with me. Or maybe I fell asleep from hunger and these were just my imagination. However, thanks to my prayers to the Virgin of Guadalupe, there were nobody around and everything was calm.

The Correa brothers had a success with their moving circus. They thank the Virgin of San Juan because they managed to buy a truck for their tour and hire more artists.

“Thousand Masks” thanks the Virgin for becoming a champion.

The young couple, Artemio and Dominga, used to have sex on the roof. But one day she got pregnant and everybody noticed it. They thank Saint Anthony because they were understood and permitted to get married.

I was always late for work because I used to turn the alarm off and continue to sleep. I was afraid to lose my job, so I prayed to Saint Francis. Thank to him I found out that if I let the windows open, the birds that wake up with the sun would come to my room and sing me. Now they wake me up with their melodic twitter, and I have a good mood for entire day. I thank Saint Francis for this miracle.

I was very fat and depressed because of my weight. I asked the Virgin for help. And when my family moved to the coast, I started to swim and made friends with dolphins. I was so happy in the water with my new friends, I often forgot to eat, so I lost about 10 kilos (~20 pounds). I thank the Virgin of San Juan for this astonishing miracle.

The street clown Transitas asked for some coins in a very rude manner. And one thing he got is being beaten by some badass car driver. He thanks the Virgin of Juquila that he only lost some teeth.

Maria de Jesus Ramirez began to see a demon in the mirror. She prayed to Saint Nicholas, and the demon disappeared. She thanks for that.

My son Luis loves the dogs. One day he leant out to look at one on the street and fell on the had of a man who was passing by. Luckily this man, although he was hit by my boy, could catch him. I thank the Virgin of San Juan. And we’re going to buy a puppy for Luis, so he wouldn’t fall watching dogs.

Dear Jude Thaddeus, thank you for keeping my love secret. You know that our love was pure and sincere. Let her be happy in her marriage and don’t forget about me. Give me strength to continue wrestling in this life without love. I’ll never forget that spring evening.

My son Andres fell in the laguna and drowned to the bottom. I was desperate because I can’t swim. But the Virgin of Zapopan sent a dog that got in the water and saved my boy. I thank the Virgin.
