Virgin of Guadalupe, bless these great women, the Patronesses of Amatlan, Veracruz, and help so they could keep help all the immigrants who cross this country in search of the American dream putting themselves in many dangers, with the hope to get to their destiny. Only God and they know why they leave their homes and families. For a better future. Protect them, this humble neighborhood painter wholeheartedly asks you.

May these women be blessed!

I’m infinitely grateful to Our Lord who let me see my son again after that terrible tragedy happened in New York on September 11, 2001. He worked there, in the towers, but fortunately that day he didn’t have to work.

In memory of that morning of September 19, 1985, when an earthquake shook the Mexico City. I know if God let me live it was to save people and help the others. That’s why I thank Saint Jude Thaddeus who interceded for me, and I’m dedicating this for those who were in those Juarez apartment buildings and for those who aren’t with us anymore. I’m here to tell about it.

That tragic day—Tuesday, July 17, 1928—when I was attending a big banquet in “La Bombilla” restaurant honoring the elected president Alvaro Obregon who, being curious about some drawings shown to him, look at them, and Leon Toral killed him. After the shock, I entrusted his life to Christ the King, and he will forgive that young man because only God and he himself know why he did it.

At the beach of Chacahua, very early in the morning, I walked four hours to the other side of the beach. When I wanted to return, the sun was already coming out, so I asked God to put clouds in the sky because otherwise I could’ve got sunstroke by the high temperatures that are recorded there, and me being in the middle of a territory with crocodiles, poisonous animals and predators. The villagers said that day was very strange because there are almost never clouds at that time of year.

I thank God for I got a job in a circus after being fired from the police because of my old age. Nobody wanted me, and here they love me so much.

By the grace of God, by the divine intercession of God, our kitty Chloe has been recovered from the illness.

My God, thank you for hearing me in the moment of fear and anxiety. You know it wasn’t simple to take the decision about abortion, but your company made me confident.

Yolanda, 30 years — State of Mexico

I thank God because after that sexual rape my little sister went through she came out well of the hospital where they did her an abortion. To continue the pregnancy would have put her life in danger because she is still a girl to become a mother. Today she started smiling again.

Patricia, 25 years — Tabasco

I’m very calm because everything went well with an abortion, and without any complication. I was very frightened that something could go wrong, but God stayed near me.

Susana, 20 years — Oaxaca

I’m calm, I know it was a good decision to get an abortion. I couldn’t become a mom at the time. God hear my prayers and protected me, because I found a safe place and it went well.

Lucero, 20 years — Chiapas

To get an abortion wasn’t easy but at the time I didn’t have conditions to keep a baby. Who know maybe later I’ll decide to be a mom. Now I’m feeling peaceful because I know God is near me and he gives me strength to go through this difficult time.

Liliana, 23 years — Chiapas

When I decided to get an abortion, I asked God and the Virgin of Guadalupe to help me so that everything would go well. Later I met new friends and told them that I felt guilty for all that had happened. Thanks to them I understood that God doesn’t judge, that God is love and that I can take decisions in conscience.
