Eleuteria Ortiz, Puebla

My son Arturo tried to emulate the deeds of his father—Captain Danger. He prepared an act with a cannonball shot to his chest. I was afraid it was going to kill him or break all his ribs. I entrusted him to Saint Rita, and she protected him, and he had a great success with his act. Now he is inundated with offers from the best circuses.

Valentina Segura ~ Guadalupe, Nuevo Leon

I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for the favor she granted us the last summer when we were at the Caribbean.

In despair I implore the Brow-skin girl, and they managed to escape from the attack of monstrous octopuses.
