Strange creatures appeared on my ceiling by night. But my prayers to the Virgin of the Solitude helped me to get rid of them. Thanks.

The twin sisters L. and J. had a marvelous idea to perform an erotic dance for their cousin. But things went beyond control. The sisters promise to the Lord of the Wonders to be chaste from now on, although it may be difficult.

Jesus, I hope you don’t mind that instead the insipid sacramental wine, I am drinking a 2005 Egon Müller-Scharzhof Scharzhofberger Riesling from Mosel.

J. H. gives thanks the Virgin of the Solitude with this retablo because he managed to escape from the prison and leave the country. He promises to amend his ways.

My husband liked to eat in bed while watching TV. It bothered me because he left crumbs and left-overs on the sheets. One warm night we left the window opened and a lot of squirrels came to our room. They started to eat the left-overs. I was nervous and began to scream like crazy. My husband chase the squirrels away and closed the window. I thank the Virgin of San Juan because after that my husband stopped eating in bed. And now is very comfortable to sleep without crumbs.

My husband Gustavo and your humble servant, we dedicate this retablo to the Virgin of Chapi because after many years of marriage we decided to join a swinger club where we have a lot of fun with others married couples who enjoy the latex and the sadomasochism like we do.

After the hurricane my sons and I found a lot of wounded animals around our house. We cured them, gave them food and some of them stayed with us. I think they told to other animals about us because many others animals began to come to our house for healing or for some water from the well. We thank the Virgin of Zapopan because the animals thank us working for us or giving milk and eggs or simply showing their love and keeping us company.

We went to Guerrero for a couple of days to visit my aunt Josefina. When we came back we found out that our kitchen was flooded with giant cockroaches. They were everywhere, even on the ceiling. We couldn’t get rid of them and prayed for help to Saint Paschal. Thanks to his intervention the cockroaches disappeared. We thank for it.

Juan Jose Carrasco was gathering wood when he was stung by two scorpions. His condition was really bad so he prayed for help to Saint Nicholas. He got cured and now he is thanking with this retablo.
