In 1917 Jasinta Robledo, having her little affair, was dangerously close to be busted by her husband. She thanks Saint Raymond for getting out from this dangerous situation.

Soul in Purgatory, I thank you for helping me with my problem with women in bed which I had after I had been hit in balls.

When my daughter Marta started sleepwalking I entrusted her to Saint Lucy, so that she be guarded and protected from incidents. Also I asked to wake me up if she was going to go out. Saint Lucy helped me well, and my daughter even stopped her sleepwalking. I thank for this.

Pepe «el Chango» (Monkey) was riding his skateboard when he saw a couple of beautiful bare legs on his way. Distracted by the view he smashed into a post. He thanks the Virgin because he only had his head hurt and didn’t become an idiot.

Yolanda H. thanks Saint Jude Thaddeus because Jasinto came back to her. He realized that these were only dirty rumors that she had an affair with his friend. He asked to forgive him for a mistake he had done.

I dedicate this retablo to Saint de Porres because with his intervention my son Vicentico and I were cured from terrible sores filled with pus and blood. And now we can celebrate my son’s birthday.

Holy Child of Atocha, may you be blessed for saving Vicente’s life when his cousin Carmelo stabbed him. Carmelo was furious and wanted to kill Vicente after he had found out that I was in love with him. I asked for his recovery.

There was a big drought in 1963 and 1964. The soil started to crack and my animals were dying. I thank Saint Isidore the Labourer because finally, after many prayers and requests, 28th of july a heavy thunderstorm arrived with rain falling several days after.

One of my goats fell down a mountain slope. I thank the Virgin of San Juan because I was able to save her and the goat only hurt one leg.

Odilon G. was very jealous because his sister had her eye on the mayor of the town. He thanks Saint Augustine for losing desire to kill the mayor because he married Odilon’s sister and even gave a good job to Odilon.

I was a very naughty girl once. But the Virgin helped me to get out of this bad relationship.

May you be blessed, Our Mother of Guadalupe, for sending me relief from a strong hangover when I was vomiting with blood and feeling like death. I asked for saving my life and now I’m thanking you.

Casimiro Beltrones was attacked by angry dogs, and they bit him. He thanks Saint Jude Thaddaeus, for dogs didn’t have rabies because he didn’t die.
