It happened with the boy Toño, who flied his kite, when the cliff collapsed and the rocks rolled down crashing his legs. He was buried under stones. After being told what happened his mother ran to him. When she saw the boy, she entrusted him to the Holy Child of Atocha. She offered this retablo because he was saved. But he couldn’t walk. So she, without losing her faith, entrusted him again. And now Toño is healed and he can walk. Full of joy the mother offers this retablo thanking the Holy Child.

We thank the Holy Face of God because we returned home after five days in the sea. We suffered shipwreck because of a terrible storm that caught us in the open sea. We entrusted ourselves to the Holy Face, and now we tell about the miracle that happened when we were counted as dead.

I went for a walk with Ramon, and an angry bull started to chase us. Ramon jumped over the fence leaving me with the furious animal. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for two things. First, for I was able to get over the fence and save myself from the bull. Second, for letting me see what type of man I was dealing with. He didn’t care about my safety. And I even considered marrying this man.

I thank the Blessed Sacrament for the dream I had. I climbed a high ladder to the sky and there I was able to fly through the stars and the clouds that seemed almost like cotton. Since that night my infinite sadness, that always haunted me, went away and I became happy.

I give thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe for such a big favor. She made my son Javiercito’s dream came true. He had had an accident, and he was so sad sitting in his wheelchair and watching his favorite wrestler El Santo. Suddenly the wrestler came to him and gave him one of his masks.
