I give you thanks, cool Virgin, because you looked after me the other day when a policeman wanted to put me in the nick and you helped me to convince him that would be better for him to accept a bribe because you know he’s also poor and has to buy bullets for his pistol and also to chip in for his boss who probably always wants to get contributions. So that’s why I’m thanking you for I’m not in the nick thanks to the bribe.

I promise you, Virgin of Guadalupe, that I won’t steal money from my mother to drink mezcal anymore.

Arturo Contreras got involved with a 80-years old woman for her money. He thanks Saint James with the present retablo for, although it cost him a lot of work, but he passed this stage of his life.

I, Smagluk Misha, was going at work and happened to turn my head to a shop-window. I fell in love at first sight with Jorik—an incredibly beautiful exotic parrot. Now he lives in my workshop. We have full mutual understanding. I thank my guardian angel for my head turned in the right direct at the right time.

«I’m valued as a person, not for my preferences».

Saint Sebastian, thank you because my father supports me and accepts me as I am. He understands and respects my relationship with Julian, and thanks to him I have the courage and peace to live my life and do not care what people think about me.
