I thank the Virgin of Juquila for the viagra, so my painful illness went away and I could satisfy my wife in bed. Since no medicine had helped me before, I entrusted myself to you and tried the viagra. We’re very happy now, and our marriage is saved.

Guadalupe Gutierrez dedicates this humble retablo thanking Saint Isidor Labourer for good sales of the flowers. She sells them to the tourists who took rides on boats-trajineras. Thanks to that she can support her family.

Oh God, may you be blessed, because I finally met the love of my life at that corner. I don’t care what has happened with her before. I fell in love at first sight. I proposed her, and she accepted me — after so many years of loneliness. I am an orphan, I have no brothers, no sisters, not even a dog—I’ve been all alone. She will fill my life with love and caress.

May you be blessed, Virgin of Guadalupe, for healing Roman. When he found out I was leaving him, he took poison. I’m so sorry about it and I ask for forgiveness because we do love each other.

April 30, 1980, a frightened lion jumped on me. In this danger, I implored the Virgin of Guadalupe. I managed to tame him and the lion didn’t do me any harm. It all ended well.

We offer this retablo to the Lord of Chalma thanking him for saving us from a shameful and dangerous situation. The week-end had started very cheerful and lively, so the devil in person appeared to us. Thank to the protection of our defender we managed to find our way home quickly and without problems, leaving all the evil behind.

Mrs. Alisia thanks the Virgin of Guadalupe because her son Juanito is feeling well and his eye is all right. He played with the spin-top and hit himself in the left eye almost losing it.

I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe and the Lord of Chalma because I survived after being stubbed by my buddy who thought that I was flirting with his girlfriend.

Thank you, Saint Charbel, for sending me the love of my life. Let my friends be critical about me for he’s much younger than me. But it’s not important because love sees no age. I want to open a restaurant for him because he’s a chef, a marvelous chef. Thank you, Saint Charbel.
