Although I wasn’t beauty like my sisters, I married the handsome and kind man who loves me very much. All this thanks to the gift of cooking I had from Saint Paschal. So I always cook something delicious.

Holy Virgin of Guadalupe, may you be blessed for the miracle because I left this woman of easy virtue. I was crazy about her, she made me forget about my wife and kids. I deeply repent and ask for forgiveness.

My baby was very sick. He had a high fever, and I prayed to the Virgin almost all night long until I fell asleep. With the first dawn in the morning I heard a soft flapping, and I saw a lot of butterflies flying around. I noticed that my baby had no fever and was smiling. I give thanks to the Virgin of Zapopan for healing my baby and for this beautiful sight.

Ataulfo Padilla wanted to kill me because Azucena had preferred me and not him. He was jealous. One day he encountered me and my brother on our way and started to shoot us. We entrusted ourselves to the Virgin of Zapopan, and the bullets didn’t get us. He ran out of the bullets, and we could escape without getting wounded. We give thanks to the Virgin.

Teodoro Corrales gives thanks to the Virgin of San Juan for healing his sheep because they were very sick.

Raul Arellano enjoyed eating while watching movies. One day he was so excited, and popcorn stuck in his respiratory tract. He started to suffocate. Raul gives thanks to the Lord of the Wonders for he was rescued right away and he didn’t die.

Holy Virgin of Sorrows, I give thanks to you for saving me from a certain death when I found myself as a recipient of flying dive of the wrestler Toro Negro (Black Bull). I only had two ribs broken and one arm bruised.

Jose Luis Suarez offers this retablo to Saint Martin because with his help he has a big success selling ice cream on the street.

My husband was a heavy drinker, and God punished him with hallucinations. One day the hallucinations were so horrible and he saw strange monsters chasing him. He entrusted himself to the Virgin of Guadalupe, mounted the mule and left the village. God led him to the capital, in a place where several months later with Virgin’s help he was cured. He came back home cured from his madness, and he doesn’t drink anymore.
