Edith and I were friends since childhood. But when I presented her my new boyfriend, he told me that she flirted with him. I believe him, because I loved him, and I lashed out against my friend. I thank Saint Charbel because we found out that he played with both of us and we didn’t lose our precious friendship over this jerk.

Victim of fatigue and anxiety because of dehydration, abandoned in the desert by the guide who promised me to get me to Arizona where my brother was waiting for me, I was lost and all alone. I implored the Virign of Guadalupe, she took mercy on me and made so I was found by other immigrants who helped me to get from there to North Carolina.

At the Christmas party in the neighborhood, I put too much liquor in my punch. Since I was getting tipsy, I came where doña Juanita was about to hit the piñata and she gave me such a tremendous kick in the head that I even saw stars. I give thanks to the Lord of the Wonders because nothing serious happened to me and I only got a lump. I promise not to drink so much on December holidays.

In 1917 in Chiautempan my buddy caught me on the mat with his wife. He started to shoot at us. I give infinite thanks to Saint Raymond because bullets didn’t hit me. She took them all.

I am a former athlete Leva L. When I stopped doing sports, I put on a lot of weight. Friends advised me to buy a slimming belt. There were no men’s belts at the store, so I had to buy women’s belt with rhinestones. Thanks to my Guardian Angel! A miracle happened and I lost weight! I am once again slim and handsome!

I’m very thankful to Holy Mary because, when a wheel fell off of my Renault and rolled down the serpentine and I ran after it but couldn’t catch up with it, Holy Mary did so the wheel fell flat down and wouldn’t roll further.

I’m infinitely thankful to Our Lady of Guadalupe for having heard my prayers when I asked her to be appointed as the United States ambassador in Mexico. It’s been an unforgettable experience for our family and we’ll always keep Mexico in our hearts.

Since I lived in my grand-mommy’s house, whenever I had a girlfriend and invited her to the house, my grand-mommy would kick her out because she wouldn’t let me have girls until she decided so. In my 25, she treated me like a boy. I give thanks to the Holy Child of Atocha for I finally began to live alone and finally can live my life freely.

We thank you, Guardian Angel, for protecting our daughter from the beings of the night and always looking after her.
