Bless you God and my Virgin of Guadalupe for helping my son when he sat out in our garden and was attacked by some tarantulas. Good thing nothing happened, he just got scared.

God, bless these women “the Mistresses” and help them so they could keep helping to all those immigrant who are coming to our country in search of the American dream. They survive so many dangers moved by this dream to find their destiny. Protect them—this humble artist is asking you from the bottom of his heart.

After few beers in the bar, on my way back home, I went to thickets to take a leak. Then an UFO landed right next to me. I was scared of being disintegrated by the UFO’s crew or something worse, but thank God they came in peace.

Thank you dear God for being sweet and warm when you could have been bitter and cold.

I thank the Sweet Lord because after my prayers I lost some of the apprehension and awkwardness I have when I talk to the girls.

I thank God and Saint Francis of Assisi for the miracle of meeting the love of my life. I was 40 years old and thought that I was never going to marry. But then my old boyfriend came back from the United States and proposed to me. I thank God because we are very happy and have become the parents of a beautiful baby.

I thank Saint Anthony of Padua for such a beautiful wedding. I married a man whom I love and who also loves me. We hope God send us a lot of children.

Abraham Lincoln thanks God the Father for the opportunity to talk with the ghost of Washington and to consult with him about the black slaves’ liberation.

Thank you Lord that I didn’t have to pay a reward as Moth came back after two months. He’s got dysentery and one ear missing but he’s now home and I won’t kick him anymore when he pees in my Christian Dior coat.

I thank Saint Anthony of Padua for a beautiful wedding that he allowed me to have. I married the man I love and who also loves me very much. We hope God would send us a lot of children.

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.

I thank God because I had the opportunity to see the inspirational art of bullfighting of the great French matador Nimeño II. I remember him with admiration and respect.

I dedicate this retablo to the people of Nîmes, from the corner of the miracles, Mexico City.
