The demon played a bad joke on me and my daughter. He made small pieces of coal fall on our clothes and put it on fire. But thanks to the Holy Cross we managed to put out the fire. We thank for that.

I was desperate after I had been fired. I didn’t know how I would provide for my family. Then I had an idea to sell tacos by nights. I entrusted myself to Saint Jude Thaddeus, so he would help me. With his divine help I’m doing pretty well and I have many clients. May you be blessed.

Blasa Jimenez thanks Saint Anthony because she met an old rich womanizer. Now she has the best dresses and jewelry in the town.

I dedicate this retablo to you, Virgin of Guadalupe, for the love of my mother, who used to lull me in her rebozo-shawl until I fell asleep. She sang me lullabies while working as a laundress, washing clothes. She loved this rebozo so much that she wore it till her death. When I see a rebozo, it calls up these sweet memories about my mother, doña Carmelita, whom I never forget.

Dear Saint Augustine. We believe that having a female Pope is a great idea, and we give thanks to God for her. Equality is an important lesson in the Bible and of Jesus, and finally the Church is following that lesson. We only hope that the next Pope will be gay – then we will feel that there is equality.
