My kitchen was filled with corn demons. I wasn’t able to see them, but they provoke some accidents and were up to mischief. I couldn’t bear it, so I prayed to Saint Paschal for saving me from the demons. And the saint sent me a cat. It came one day on my kitchen and didn’t leave. I wanted to throw it out, but very soon all accidents and mischiefs stopped.

Since my children went away, I felt so lonely. One day I adopted an abandoned puppy that arrived at my doors. He gave me so much joy. I thank the Virgin of San Juan, for now I have 11 stray dogs living with me. They brighten up the loneliness, give me their love and protect me from thieves.

Thanks for this kiss.

I invited my girlfriend over for dinner. I wanted to impress her and decided to cook something without knowing how to cook at all. So I almost burnt my entire kitchen. I thank Saint Paschal Baylon because nothing serious happened, and I promise to take cooking lessons.

I thank the Archangel of the Neighborhood for guiding my son Pancho on the righteous way. In such young age he was already an alcoholic, and it was breaking our hearts.

The Sanchez Galindo family thanks the Virgin of Guadalupe with this retablo because all of them managed to arrived safely to La Villa after a long pilgrimage.

Villa de Guadalupe is a neighborhood in northern Mexico City which in 1531 was the site of the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

It was November 2. I went to the cemetery to visit my late friends. I was tired and fell asleep. To my surprise, when I awoke, I found myself surrounded by skeletons who were eating the offerings. I was scared and rushed out from the cemetery. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe.
