I thank Saint Jude Thaddeus for having met Malena in Zipolite the hot summer of 2002.

Mara Laguna

Thank you, Virgin of Guadalupe, for helping me giving up this bad habit. I was constantly drinking this soft drink, so I even began to see strange things.

On the night of November 2, I was at the cemetery cleaning some tombs. I got pretty scared when I saw with my own eyes that the dead man, whose tomb I was going to clean, opened up his tomb and got ready to leave. I ask the Virgin of Juquila to protect me and she helped me to escape from there. The next day, I decided I’d better quit that job at the cemetery.

Virgin of Guadalupe, thank you for giving me plenty of work as a whore. You also protect me from dangers on the streets. Like when that robber tried to steal my earnings.

I, Gardenia, thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for giving me this beautiful figure so I can make a living as a whore. I love this job because for me it’s easy money.

My buddy and I were coming back after the sowing. We took the short way, through the cemetery, and there the beheaded bride appeared to us. She scared us. We prayed to you, Virgin of the Solitude, so the bride would o away. And she disappeared. Thanks.

I went to see the wrestling when it came to our town. During the flight of El Demonio, I noticed that he was falling right on me. I implored you, Virgin of Guadalupe, and you saved me. He fell on another wrestler.
