Saint Francis of Assisi

My boyfriend went to work abroad. I had no news from him for a while, so I was sad. I asked St. Francis of Assisi for a sign. And one day a flock of birds flew over to me and told me good news about my boyfriend. I thank St. Francis for I was able to communicate with the birds.

My rooster The Colorado had to fight with The White Cock. It was famous for being very fierce. I prayed to Saint Francis of Assisi so that nothing would happen with my rooster and he would survive the fight. No only he survived, but won the fight. Now my rooster is the best in the area. I dedicate this retablo for that.

Señor Ernesto Treviño felt very lonely. But one day he noticed that pigeons in the park flying to him. Now every day, when he comes to feed the birds, hundreds of them gather around him. He thanks Saint Francis for that.

My neighbors’s pigs were eating my cabbages. They were very voracious. I prayed to Saint Francis, and he worked a miracle. So now my neighbor keeps his pigs in pigsty. Thanks.

I felt very lonely in the last years, because I haven’t any partner. But someone brought me abandoned kittens, and I shelter them. I thank Saint Francis because now they are the joy of my house. I only asked the saint to meet a partner who would love my cats, because I can’t imagine my life without them.

With this drawing, I want to thank Saint Francis for the miracle he made. Your slave Juan Luis Rubert had some drinks in the bar. On the way back, I was riding a horse and hit my head on a badly planted tree. I fell off the horse and broke two ribs and one leg. On top of everything I was stung by a viper.

However, that moonless night Saint Francis heard my prayers. He sent me my neighbor Geniero, who was passing by on his donkey. He took me to the hospital where I met Dr. Paty and fell in love with her.

I thank Saint Francis for hearing our prayers. My son and I went to USA as illegal immigrants, but we got lost. Luckily, we were found by the immigration police, so now I can tell about that.

I give thanks to the Saint Francis, because, since I was a little girl, I have been able to communicate with the birds. Wherever I go I’m never alone, because the birds found me and keep me a company. With their songs, they make me happy.

A horde of squirrels invaded the people’s houses. They were eating all the food, but the worst part was that they were smashing and dropping everything around. But thanks to our prayers to Saint Francis, a new restaurant with delicious food was opened in our town. So the squeamish squirrels lost their interest in our houses and went to destroy the restaurant.

Thanks to my sweet Saint Francis I had enough firmness to cover all my body with removable tattoos and to surprise my husband in his birthday. And now this pervert don’t want me to wash myself.

I offer this retablo to Saint Francis of Assisi because my liquor shop is very profitable and it’s the most popular shop in the town.

We had a hail storm in July. Hailstone were as big as eggs. We thank Saint Francis for we managed to bring all our animals in the house before they died from cold and the smaller ones smashed by hailstones.
